Hi all,

I am working with a COM interface and the specification which is wrtten for
ASP calls for a "Currency" data type to be passed to a function. What is
the equivalent in PHP?

If I call com_print_typeinfo() I can see that the function has the following
info:

function GetPrice(
/* VT_PTR [26] [in][out] --> VT_VARIANT [12] */ &$Account,
/* VT_PTR [26] [in][out] --> VT_CY [6] */ &$Quant,
/* VT_PTR [26] [in][out] --> VT_I2 [2] */ &$QuantMult,
/* VT_PTR [26] [in][out] --> VT_I2 [2] */ &$prMult
)

The parameter I am having problems with parameter 2 - $Quant.

I tried to create a VARIANT of type VT_CY so I did:

$qty = new VARIANT('1.0000', VT_CY);

The error I am getting is:

Uncaught exception 'com_exception' with message 'Parameter 2: Type mismatch.


Thanks all,

Alex

total guess work from me:

$qty = new VARIANT('1', VT_CY);

i.e. use an 'int' rather than a 'float'

or maybe just

$qty = new VARIANT(1);

you might try catching the exception and see if it contains any more
useful info.
