# com_invoke

(PHP 3>= 3.0.3)

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.
