RE: [PHP-DEV] A use for the COM module? From: tcobb (tcobb <email protected>)

Now what would be pretty slick is a COM Automation wrapper that
will drive non-COM-enabled programs -- could work that it spawns new
programs and sends interface messages to them. Or uses just DDE,
b/c many older programs will take DDE commands and not OLE (COM).
