I began making a CORBA dynamic module, that works against Visiroker
(the free ORB from Borland, C++ mapping). I do this during my working
hours, so the code belong to the company, but I will ask for a free
release.

As of now, the module is able to use DII (Dynamic Invocation Interface),
that is to dynamically call any function on any CORBA Object.

I ran into problems, because I am so new to PHP. For example, at the
end of the page, PHP complains that it doesn't knoe how to desallocate
object type 9 (the type I register in the init function).

The good thing with CORBA is that quite everything is standardized (with
an interface definition), so it should not be that difficult to have a
generic module
for every ORB. In theory, it should be only changing the ORB-specific
include
file).
 
I'll keep you informed.
