No, neither AMFPHP nor WebORB require FDS, well, at least not the server
technology. You have to set up the Flex project as an FDS project type
and you may need to make sure that the FDS SDK is installed on your
development box. However, the rest is handled by the server components
(AMFPHP/WebORB for PHP).
AMFPHP and WebORB each handle things a bit different. FDS goes beyond
what either of them currently offer, with WebORB coming closer to the
FDS feature set.
WebORB for .NET is a different story and you should check it out too.
However, that would be a .NET implementation. Mark Piller at Midnight
Coders would need to chime in here, but I believe there are plans to
expand WebORB for PHP quite a bit. So definitely keep that in mind. If
you look at the feature set of WebORB for .NET, especially for the
Enterprise version, there is a good chance that a number of them will
end up in the PHP version too, at least that's what was stated by Mark
in the past.
If you require the full feature set of FDS now, you'll need to consider
it instead.

Do both of these require Flex Data Services though?
I was hoping to get around using that.
