I also found that it's not only COM objects... I have another occurrence:

Catchable fatal error: Object of class variant could not be converted to boolean

com, variant and dotnet objects are all the same really.

The question is, why are you comparing them with bool in the first
place?

I originally found the problem like this:

// Connect to database
$dbc = new COM(...);

// Check that it was successful
if (! $dbc) { ...};

We then reduced it to that one single line just for simplification.

that check is redundant in PHP 5; if the object couldn't be created,
an exception will be thrown.

Tony,

Any idea why this is now an error?
Is something missing from the com extension?
If so, it needs to be fixed because one of the core features of the
variant class is magically representing a variant bool, which can be
interpreted as either true or false.
