[flexcoders] Eh. How does this still work?!

[nwebb]

Hi,

I skipped a step when setting up a flex-remoting (amfphp) project, but it
still works.

I didn't set up the Flex project to use PHP when I created it, and so didn't
define the webroot or the root url at all.

I added in the services-config file (see code at the bottom of this email)
and I added the following additional compiler argument: -services
"services-config.xml" and that was all I needed to get things working.

Does anyone know if amfphp automatically assume the uri in the config file
will start with http://localhost/ when not otherwise defined?

The config file I used defines gateway.php as being in the "amfphp" folder
in the webroot, but how does the Flex project know the location of my
webroot?! (which by the way is C:\xampp\htdocs)


Cheers.
