Glen has given you a wealth of links (that i'm going to look at too!) but i used two video tutorials on gotoandlearn.com which were a great introduction. http://www.gotoandlearn.com/play?id=78http://www.gotoandlearn.com/play?id=79 i started making my own CMS off the back of these, but haven't got round to finishing it and doubt i will, no inclination to try and reinvent the wheel. it will be great to try amfphp for a client though when the right project comes along.i definitely had an issue with installing it. i think i had to manually drag the files on to the server or something. whatever the problem it was a quick fix and the video was a great help. hope that helps, david
