Runtime Configuration
The behaviour of these functions is affected by settings in php.ini.
Name | Default | Changeable | Changelog |
---|---|---|---|
com.allow_dcom | "0" | PHP_INI_SYSTEM | |
com.autoregister_typelib | "0" | PHP_INI_ALL | |
com.autoregister_verbose | "0" | PHP_INI_ALL | |
com.autoregister_casesensitive | "1" | PHP_INI_ALL | |
com.code_page | "" | PHP_INI_ALL | |
com.typelib_file | "" | PHP_INI_SYSTEM |
Here's a short explanation of the configuration directives.
-
com.allow_dcom
-
When this is turned on, PHP will be allowed to operate as a D-COM (Distributed COM) client and will allow the PHP script to instantiate COM objects on a remote server.
-
com.autoregister_typelib
-
When this is turned on, PHP will attempt to register constants from the typelibrary of COM objects that it instantiates, if those objects implement the interfaces required to obtain that information. The case sensitivity of the constants it registers is controlled by the configuration directive.
-
com.autoregister_verbose
-
When this is turned on, any problems with loading a typelibrary during object instantiation will be reported using the PHP error mechanism. The default is off, which does not emit any indication if there was an error finding or loading the type library.
-
com.autoregister_casesensitive
-
When this is turned on (the default), constants found in auto-loaded type libraries when instatiating COM objects will be registered case sensitively. See com_load_typelib() for more details.
-
com.code_page
-
It controls the default character set code-page to use when passing strings to and from COM objects. If set to an empty string, PHP will assume that you want
CP_ACP
, which is the default system ANSI code page.If the text in your scripts is encoded using a different encoding/character set by default, setting this directive will save you from having to pass the code page as a parameter to the COM class constructor. Please note that by using this directive (as with any PHP configuration directive), your PHP script becomes less portable; you should use the COM constructor parameter whenever possible.
-
com.typelib_file
-
When set, this should hold the path to a file that contains a list of typelibraries that should be loaded on startup. Each line of the file will be treated as the type library name and loaded as though you had called com_load_typelib(). The constants will be registered persistently, so that the library only needs to be loaded once. If a type library name ends with the string #cis or #case_insensitive, then the constants from that library will be registered case insensitively.
English translation
You have asked to visit this site in English. For now, only the interface is translated, but not all the content yet.If you want to help me in translations, your contribution is welcome. All you need to do is register on the site, and send me a message asking me to add you to the group of translators, which will give you the opportunity to translate the pages you want.
