The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

PHP, Apache (Win32) and COM don't play in the same sandbox.

Asked by movemedia in Apache Web Server

Tags: , , ,

Hello all.  I have been using COM calls from PHP for some time now in IIS and everything works fine.  I have changed jobs lately (and servers) and now, i can't seem to get COM to work with PHP.  The differences (major) between the two boxes are:

Box 1:  (PHP COM calls working)
Windows Advanced Server 2000 running IIS
PHP 4.3.x running in CGI mode
PHP info can't be found on this box

Box 2:  (PHP COM calls not working)
Windows XP Professional running Apache
PHP 4.3.1 running in ISAPI mode
PHP info can be found here:  http://dev.postcards4insurance.com/info.php

I try to run the following script:
<?php

$objConnection = new COM("ADODB.Connection");

phpinfo();
?>

and i get this:  http://dev.postcards4insurance.com/crash.gif

now, don't tell me that i shouldn't be connecting to databases this way through PHP, because that isn't my problem ;-).  I used the ADODB.Connection ProgID because it is very common and is installed on this machine.  In my actual environment, I will be using an custom COM object written by another developer.  

Thanks!  and any help is greatly appreciated.
