Whether the type library is cached is actually irrelevant here; what
matters is that the symbols are imported, and since these are not
cached, we have to import them for every request. And we cannot cache
the symbols, because the import depends on the current codepage, but
the codepage is a PHP_INI_ALL setting.


I'm not sure what to do with the cached parameter of php_com_load_typelib_via_cache(); it's no longer needed after this change, but the function is exported, although it is declared in the internal header. Maybe just stick with the param for PHP 7, and remove for PHP 8?

I'm also not sure if it's worth writing a PHPT, because that would likely require the built-in webserver to be able to do multiple requests.

Can't really comment on the change itself...

Yes, let's do that to be on the safe side.

We should probably add some kind of facility for this (cgi has -T mode that can be used...), but for now I agree.

Thanks! Applied as dc108fe. I'll follow up with a commit to remove the cached parameter for the "master" branch only.
