Photoshop COM Object Scripting via PhP

Question

Has anyone had any joy creating a photoshop COM Object using PhP?
Normally you would do something like this :
$ps = new COM("Photoshop.Application.8") or die ("Failed to initialize.");
var_dump($ps);
I can see photoshop launched in the task manager, but when run in my browser appears to be stuck in a loading cycle, no output of the Object.
Doing this :
$ps = new COM("Microsoft.XMLDOM") or die ("Failed to initialize.");
var_dump($ps);
Correctly outputs 'object(com)#1 (0) { }'
ie. an initialized XMLDOM COM object.
If i can initialize Photoshop as a COM object i should be able to script it directly in PhP, rather than using the command line to execute a droplet that calls an action to execute a VB/JSX Script.

I would like some information on this as well...
