I dont use AMFPHP to comunicate with Flex, AMFPHP its a good solution
but I prefer to make all server scripts by myself, also if you send a
lot of registers to a datagrid in XML format the amount of bytes is
too high, if you send registers in "your propietry way" you send less
data but you have to transform in the client.
Here you have a sample filling a ComboBox:
PHP send this (each line is a register):
field1|field2|field3|....
field1|field2|field3|....
field1|field2|field3|....
At Flex:
hs is a HTTPService instance
private function getResult(event:Event):void{
switch(this.hs.resultFormat){
case 'object':
// In this case the PHP sent one XML
this.dataProvider=hs.lastResult.item;
break;
case 'text':
// In this case PHP sent registers whose fields are separated by '|'
character
if(this.hs.lastResult!=''){
var a:Array=this.hs.lastResult.split('|');
var b:Array=new Array();
for(var x:Number=0;x<a.length;x+=2){
b[b.length]={label:a[x],value:a[x+1]};
}
this.dataProvider=b;
}
break;
}
}
