• Is it possible manipulate visual objects in PHP ?
• Can I store a COM object in a session ?
• How can I trap COM errors ?
• Can I generate DLL files from PHP scripts like i can in Perl ?
• What does 'Unable to obtain IDispatch interface for CLSID {xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}' mean ?
• How can I run COM object from remote server ?
• I get 'DCOM is disabled in C:\path...\scriptname.php on line 6', what can I do ?
• Is it possible to load/manipulate an ActiveX object in a page with PHP ?

• Is there a way to handle an event sent from COM object ?
• I'm having problems when trying to invoke a method of a COM object which exposes more than one interface. What can I do ?
• So PHP works with COM, how about COM+ ?
• If PHP can manipulate COM objects, can we imagine to use MTS to manage components resources, in conjunction with PHP ?
