com_create_guid() doesn't work on Ubuntu but it work on Windows

Question

I'm trying to create an API which generate guid. My php work perfectly on windows with wampp but it doesn't work on apache2 on my ubuntu server...

What's wrong?

$key = 0;

    if (function_exists('com_create_guid')){
        $key = trim(com_create_guid(), "{}");
    }else{
        mt_srand((double)microtime()*10000);//optional for php 4.2.0 and up.
        $charid = strtoupper(md5(uniqid(rand(), true)));
        $hyphen = chr(45);// "-"
        $key = substr($charid, 0, 8).$hyphen
            .substr($charid, 8, 4).$hyphen
            .substr($charid,12, 4).$hyphen
            .substr($charid,16, 4).$hyphen
            .substr($charid,20,12);
    }

    $mail = $_GET['mail'];
    $nom = $_GET['nom'];
    $prenom = $_GET['prenom'];

    if($mail && $nom && $prenom){
        $retour = sendMail($mail, $nom, $key);
    }else{
        $retour = false;
    }

EDIT:

I need use this:

bin2hex(openssl_random_pseudo_bytes(16));

This isn't the same format but it works!

and you mirrored the server completely (in terms of php version/modules etc.) — treyBake, Jul 10 '19 at 16:00
Pretty sure COM is only ever going to work on Windows. Sort of like why does the .DLL not work on Ubuntu... Yup... https://www.php.net/manual/en/com.requirements.php — ficuscr, Jul 10 '19 at 16:01
Workarounds are discussed in the answers here: [How to generate a new GUID?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21671179/how-to-generate-a-new-guid) Maybe close this as a dupe of this question? — ficuscr, Jul 10 '19 at 16:03

@Guillaume again, "COM functions are only available for the Windows version of PHP." Follow the recommended links... — ficuscr, Jul 10 '19 at 16:07
It's duplicate but the answer indicated on the other post is false — Guillaume, Jul 10 '19 at 16:17
@Guillaume what do you mean the answer is false? Looking at the accepted answer with the `function_exists` check? — ficuscr, Jul 10 '19 at 16:46
