Hi,
I have a problem, which is very difficult zu solve, so I try to
explain short and simple (with examples).
I get an COM-Object (Crystal Report) in PHP an everything works
perfectly, but I have problems with one method of the COM-Object (but
I am not searching for an documentation or help directly for these
functions! The problem is deeper, please read on!):
GetNthDefaultValue (index)
Now, I have to explain: With this function I get the default value of
a parameter field in a Crystal Report. There are different field
types: Numbers, Strings, Dates, Time,...
--------------------------------------
Now my problem, explained in some examples:
For example, if I want to get a default value of a Date-Field in
Visual Basic, I call the GetNthDefaultValue-function and show the
result per MsgBox:
RESULT: 31.10.2003 00:00:00
If I want to get the value in PHP, there is another result:
RESULT: 1067554800
Well, I get the TimeStamp, and this is not really a problem... I can
convert the time stamp to the date
NOW THE PROBLEM:
If I want to do the same with a Time-Field
Visual-Basic-RESULT: 05:30:00
PHP-RESULT: -1
=> Error
Why does this happen? I think, that the called COM-Method is
overloaded with different variable types? Perhaps PHP wants to convert
the result into an integer forcefully (there is no Date/Time-structure
in PHP...), so the function fails? Do work-arounds for such problems
exist?
Please help!
Thank you!
