No PHP packages support the full functionality of Flex data access features, which Flex Data Services server provides. Part of Flex data access is RPC serivces, which includes Remoting. When it first came out, before Flex, it was called Flash MX Remoting. In Flex remoting is done by the RemoteObject component using Action Message Format (AMF). With Flex 2 AMF3 was introduced a newer AMF format. There are a couple PHP projects support AMF0/3 a break down is below.
AMFPHP supports AMF0, uses PHP4 and has been around for a long time. SabreAMF (http://osflash.org/sabreamf) - supports AMF0/AMF3 and uses PHP5. This is a generic server that can be extend for many uses. This is under a BSD license. WebORB for PHP (http://themidnightcoders.com/weborb/php/index.htm) - supports AMF0/AMF3 and uses PHP5. Highly structure to act like a FDS server setup. This is part of a large suite of tools and is under a GPL license. Both SabreAMF and WebORB for PHP has plans for support more Flex data access features, which FDS typifies. I believe WebORB for PHP's roadmap is geared for a sooner release. You can find examples of how to use Flex to connect to AMF0 servers and also how to connect to SabreAMF and WebORB for PHP on my blog at http://renaun.com/.
