What is AMFPHP?

from http://www.amfphp.org/

Amfphp is an RPC toolkit for PHP. It allows seamless communication between PHP and:

  • Flash and Flex with Remoting
  • JavaScript and Ajax with JSON
  • XML clients with XML-RPC

What is RPC?

from http://www.amfphp.org/

RPC (Remote Procedure Call) is a way to communicate data between a client and a server. You call a method on a local object with various parameters, set a callback, and receive a result. You don't have to worry about how you're going to send and receive the data. The implementation details are abstracted away so that it looks as though you're calling a local method.

Requirements

  • requires >= Seagull 0.6.2

Installing

  • Download - http://www.amfphp.org/
  • Decompress and put amf-core in <install-root>/lib

Integration

To create a service, put the class in <module>/classes/amfservices/<service>.php

For example, if you want to call a service Example in default module, put the file Example.php in default/classes/classes/amfservices/Example.php then in flash use the gateway url as: 

http://seagull/index.php/default/

To Do

  • Create a ServiceBrowser module.
