PEAR::DB - time abstracting is never wasted!!
Either that or rewrite the mssql_* functions to use FreeTDS (www.freetds.org) instead
of dblib. (Just kidding - used freetds+mssql under Linux and it works extremely well,
but not even sure it compiles under windows! It _would_ be nice to see better mssql
support though...)

I recommend anyone using ODBC to access MSSQL to use the php_mssql.dll.
I have successfuly connected a test application and benchmarked with ab (
Apache Benchmar) 100000 hits without any errors !

I have PDF file which has printing disabled - a file given to me which i
need to print. Is it possible to re-enable?

Kai,
I've moved this to the Windows list because someone else here might be able
to add something.
I'm afaid I didn't have to adjust anything within the PHP ini or anything -
for me it worked pretty much "out of the box".
With regards the registry - in order to check that you are using the
appropriate application id - simply open up regedit and search for the name
of the identifier you are using - if it's going to be used as a COM
identifier - it has to be in there somewhere.
Finding out what that identifier is though (if you don't already know it)
... is another matter ... the easiest way (I think) ... is to use
"HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT" in the registry ... browse through that list and look to
see if there is something appropriate.
In your case - for Media Player - I found "Mediaplayer.mediaplayer" in my
Windows 2000 server registry. It might be the one - but I haven't tried that
to see whether it works.
Basically - if you don't have documentation on the functions contained
within a COM object - you are a little shafted ... because it's going to be
very hard to know what functions to access and how.
Luckily - in my case - the application I interface with has full COM
documentation.
Sorry I can't be of more assistance.
Michael.

Hi Michael,

Thats true thats why i've been trying to start other applications like

Maybe you can give me a little hint on that.
I've been creating some com components in vb some time ago,
but as I remember I had to register them with regsvr.exe but that was
for dll's and stuff.
But hey I don't know exactly what you are suggesting, please help.

No, what I am trying to do is, if someone I know activates a button on my
site,
a sound file will play on my server, which is locate in my kitchen, to catch
my attention.
Further more I'd like to control outlook for different tasks.

I've tried that, but did not see any entries related to my problem.
If your com code is running fine,
maybe you can remember if you have some special settings in
your php.ini, appache or win2k settings.
Any suggestion is welcome.
Thank you very much

All,
I don't know if anyone could help me ... I am trying to set the default
printer for windows through PHP.
Let me explain - we have a number of reports, that exist in Cognos, we
access these reports through PHP and COM. However, various copies of these
reports need to go to different printers around the building.
Currently - we have two users and two scheduled jobs (one for each printer).
Since the number of reports and printers is about to explode (up to 10-15) I
don't want to have to set up 15 seperate users for each report/printer.
Cognos (via the COM interface) cannot select the printer it goes to. This
means that it will only ever print to the default printer.
SO - what I'd like to do is change the default printer. But the only way -
currently - I've found is to use the W32API functions - e.g.
$result=w32api_register_function("winspool.drv","SetDefaultPrinterA","long")
;
$output=SetDefaultPrinterA("testqueue");
This works ... but it's a bit of a long way round ... anyone have a better
way?
Cheers,
Michael.

DaMouse,
Toss in a few extra 'echo' and 'print_r($array)' statements regarding to
your number and you'll figure it out. That's what I just did. Make it work
before you make it pretty :) I fill my code with echo and print_r statements
so I know what the code further down is getting.
Here's the fixed code: (note I commented out some of your code - that's all
that I did)
<?php
if(!file_exists("./forum/"))
{
mkdir("./forum/", 0777);
}
if(@$_POST['dir'] == "")
{
?>
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">
<input type="text" name="dir" id="dir" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
<?php
} else {
if(!file_exists("./forum/".$_POST['dir']."/"))
{
mkdir("./forum/".$_POST['dir']."/", 0777);
echo "forum made";
}
else
{
echo "forum already there";
}
$forums = file("./forum/forums.xm");
for($f=0;$f<count($forums);$f++)
{
$forums[$f] = explode(":",$forums[$f]);
$forums[$f] = $forums[$f][0];
settype($forums[$f],"integer");
}
//print_r($forums);
natsort($forums);
$forums = $forums[count($forums)-1];
/* This stuff makes the $forums var = 0, then ++'ing that makes it 1
$forums = explode(":","",$forums);
$forums = $forums[0];
settype($forums,"integer");
*/
$forums++;
if($fs=fopen("./forum/forums.xm","a"))
{
fwrite($fs,$forums.":".$_POST['dir']."\n");
fclose($fs);
}
}
?>

Oops! I actually meant to copy the whole list on this.. I need to remember
to hit the "Reply All" button :)
> What user is IIS running as? Does it have access to those directories?
Thanks for thinking of that -- we checked the permissions of the user set up
to allow anonymous access to the site, and those permissions also grant Full
Control to the user.
We've also checked the IIS console to make sure the web site has Write and
Execute access.. and to make sure the temp directory is valid and also has
the proper permissions.
I tried to Google around for this.. but if anyone has seen setup
instructions for IIS -- not in installing PHP itself but in setting up the
IIS console beyond what the PHP 4.2.3 installer does by default -- please
let me know!
Thanks,

I have installed Apache 1.3.27 and PHP 4.2.3 and can not get it to run php
scripts. I have gone through the install readme a couple of times to
confirm everything is as indicated. When I call a script with php tags: <?
phpinfo(); ?> it does not launch php. When I view the source, the text
for the file is all that is shown. I am currently running the modules
configuration with the following lines in httpd.conf
LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll
AddModule mod_php4.c
AddType application/x-http-php .phtml .php
AddType application/x-http-php-source .phps
I have added the registry settings for php4isapi.dll , although I am not
sure if this is needed. I tried with and without and it performs the same.
I do not get any sort of error message from Apache, the entry in the access
log file is:
127.0.0.1 - - [14/Nov/2002:11:32:21 -0700] "GET /phpinfo.php HTTP/1.1" 200
99
I am at a loss on this one. I have even tried using Apache 2.0.43, but
could not get it to perform the LoadModule part correctly. Gave up and went
back to 1.3.27
Are there any diagnostic tools I can use to see where this is going wrong?
I do not believe it is even calling php. I did confirm the php installation
using php -i and piping this to an HTML file that I could open.
The system I am using is running Windows XP professional with SP1 installed.
Thanks in Advance,
Scott Trosper
