COM Object in background.

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to run a test file that opens internet explorer on my server... It runs the program, but it's always in the background (iexplore.exe runs with the correct user in taskman). I can't get it in the foreground... any ideas why this is?

My code is below:

Code: Select all

<?php
 
    // Open IE
    $browser = new COM("InternetExplorer.Application") or die("Unable to instantiate IE");;
    
    // Set IE Attributes
    $browser->Navigate("about&#058;blank");
    $browser->Visible = true;
    //$browser->Fullscreen = true;
    
    // Navigate to URL
    $browser->Navigate("www.google.com");
    
    while ($browser->Busy) {
        com_message_pump(2000);
    }
    
?>
