Quick and dirty COM

Post by Zmodem »

I want to yank some data out of a DB, and dump it into an Excel spreadsheet. (yes, PHP is running on windows)

I know PHP has a COM interface, but it's not documented very well. I have looked at some COM docs on the M$ site, but it is far too in depth for what I need. I just need something simple, that will dump data from a DB straight into an excel spreadsheet. Nothing fancy or in depth needed.

Does anyone know of any PHP and COM resources/turorials? Perhaps someone would like to give me a short tutorial I could use.

Anything at all is greatly appreciated. Thanks guys
