Depends on your knowledge level too.... CF is dead easy to pick up - you can easily learn to create a CFC in no time. The class based structure of PHP when creating a service throws a couple people off in terms of scope resolution .... So depending on your background if you know neither language, one might be easier to pick up than the other.
CF costs. Yes. PHP is free and most hosts support it, Yes. But unless I am totally wrong, AMFPHP wasn't out of beta until recently. And it isn't officially supported by Adobe/MM, or if it is, it wasn't until recently. CF is. I've used both and frankly they are both dead easy to install, to create services and the AMFPHP is pretty reliable, I've created some bigger applications with it no problem and don't have an issue recommending it to a client now. _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
