Subject: Re: PHP Extension and Windows Common Dialogs
From: peterd@telephonetics.co.uk ("Pete Dishman")

Hi,

As Frank suggested, I tried using php_win.exe to call my test script with
and I still got exactly the same results, namely the dialog boxes would not
appear.

In my extension I have other functions that wrap things such as the Win32
MessageBox() functions and the 'Browse for a folder' function and these all
still work correctly.  It is just the calls to GetOpenFileName and
GetSaveFileName that have stopped working since I upgraded to PHP 4.3.3

If anyone knows of anything that I could try or of anything significant that
has changed since 4.1.1 I would be very grateful as I don't want to have to
do without these functions.



Cheers,

Pete Dishman
