com_create_guid() is not defined : retruns fatal error

Question

Hi

I am using PHP 5 on my dedicated linux server

5.2.6 (cli) (built: May 7 2008 01:11:22) Copyright (c) 1997-2008 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2008 Zend Technologies

but com_create_guid function is not working to me it's returning this error message

Fatal error: Call to undefined function com_create_guid() in /var/www/html/mysite/application/modules/consultant/models/Consultant.php on line 34

I checked http://in.php.net/com_create_guid . It says you just need PHP5 (and i have that) but this function not working :(

Anyone help please !!!

COM functions are only available on Windows.

COM functions are only available for the Windows version of PHP.

.Net support requires PHP 5 and the .Net runtime.
