Hi

I am trying to use Skype4COM with PHP, so I started by trying the CALL.PHP in the Examples.

When I run it, an error shows as below:

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'com_exception' with message 'Source: Skype4COM.Skype.1
Description: Skype client is not installed.' in call.php:30
Stack trace:
#0 call.php(30): variant->start(true, true)
#1 {main}
thrown in call.php on line 30

(for easy reference, lines 28~30 of call.php is as below:

28 // Start the Skype client, minimized and with no splash screen:
29 if (!$skype->client()->isRunning()) {
30 $skype->client()->start(true, true);
31 }
)

However, my skype client is running properly so I suspect that I may have missed something in my setup. I would be grateful if anyone here would give me a hand on this.

I am using PHP 5.1.3 on WinXP, Skype4COM-1.0.0.21.beta

Thank you!

Is this any help?

Thank you, ZOverLord!

I tried the suggestions in that post but with no luck.

I suspect that it is a problem on my own computer setup.

My Web server is Apache Tomcat. When I start Tomcat as System user, the error messages is as above. No matter Skype.exe is running or not.
When I tried to run Tomcat as Administrator, with Skype.exe not running. I can see Skype.exe was started when I visit call.php, then everything stopped. I'll keep trying to figure out what's happening.

Anyway, thanks again for your help.

By the way, your web site is brilliant!

Thanks,

I will still also look to see if I can find any better answers about this as well.

I'm a little late to this party, but did either of you ever figure this out?

I'm running into the exact same issue, but while I know PHP, I'm not a big expert in Windows, COM, or Skype, so it's hard for me know where I should look to start debugging.
