I recently had someone ask me to provide an example using PHP with the SolidWorks EPDM API. I am posting the example I provided in hopes it may help someone else down the road.
Note the module name in the ‘new COM’ line.

Hi There! I’m looking at tapping into EPDM from php a little bit. I’ve tried this example and the table comes out blank.
It gives me a local folder reference and version correctly, so I know it connects.
Not sure what I am doing wrong.
Also, any idea how to use GetVaultViews in php?
Cory, it may be that where you’re running the code you don’t have a local version of the file. That’s all I can think of. I haven’t used PHP in years, so I won’t be much help to you at the moment. I can look into it, but it would take me a while.
