# com_invoke

(PHP 4)

com_invoke — Calls a COM component's method [deprecated]

### Description

mixed com_invoke ( resource `$com_object` , string `$function_name` [, mixed `$function_parameters` ] )

com_invoke() invokes the method named `function_name` of the COM component referenced by `com_object`. com_invoke() returns `FALSE` on error, returns the `function_name`'s return value on success. All the extra parameters `function_parameters` are passed to the method `function_name`.

Example #1 Don't use com_invoke(), use OO syntax instead

`<?php
// do this
$val = $obj->method($one, $two);
// instead of this:
$val = com_invoke($obj, 'method', $one, $two);
?>`

> Note: This function does not exist in PHP 5; instead, you should use the regular and more natural OO syntax to access properties or call methods.
