could you add 'var_dump($bool)' above the if's and send me the output
please.
the functions should actually do the same thing as the oo api.

Hello,

I want connect to COM server, that publish data from some application.
Script run forever, but application my be started or stoped.

If I try use following script, I cannot discover if invoking object
method is succesful or not. Here is script:

$tag = new COM("FLINK.TAGOBJ") or die("Unable to instanciate Flink");
while (1) {
        $bool = $tag->bind("DATETIME"); 
        if ($bool === false){
                print "Bind failed\n";
        };

        $val = $tag->read; // This function return value from binded variable
        if ($val === false){
                print "Read failed\n";
        };

        print "Val: $val\n";
        sleep(1);
};
$tag->Release();
$tag = null;


Messages "* failed" is not reported, if application not run.

The following script run correctly:

$tag = com_load("FLINK.TAGOBJ") or die("Unable to instanciate Flink");

while (1) {
        $bool = com_invoke($tag, "bind", "DATETIME"); 
        if ($bool === false){
                print "Bind failed\n";
        };

        $val = com_invoke($tag, "read"); // This function return value from
binded variable
        if ($val === false){
                print "Read failed\n";
        };

        $val = com_propget($tag, "read"); // This function return value from
binded variable
        if ($val === false){
                print "Propget Read failed\n";
        };

        print "Val: $val\n";

        sleep(1);
};

com_release($tag);
$tag = null;

Is this feature or bug.
