AMFPHP's _explicitType implementation is used to define it however you
want. So for my example of the BookVO, the php VO would look like:
class BookVO {
public $_explicitType = "com.renaun.samples.login.vo.BookVO";
public $name;
public $bookid;
public $publishdate;
public $createddate;
}
And the PHP service class is:
include "../vo/BookVO.php";
class Login {
function Login() {
$this->methodTable = array(
"checkLogin" => array(
"description" => "Simple Login",
"access" => "remote",
"arguments" => array ()
)
);
// Initialize db connection
}
function checkLogin() {
$arr = array();
$book = new BookVO();
$book->name = "Adobe Flex 2: Training from the Source";
$book->bookid = "032142316X";
$book->publishdate = date( "F j, Y, g:i a", mktime(0, 0, 0, 8,
31,
2006) );
$arr[] = $book;
$book = new BookVO();
$book->name = "ActionScript 3.0 Cookbook : Solutions and
Examples
for Flash Developers";
$book->bookid = "0596526954";
$book->publishdate = date( "F j, Y, g:i a", mktime(0, 0, 0, 9,
1,
2006) );
$arr[] = $book;
$book = new BookVO();
$book->name = "Programming Flex 2 : The Comprehensive Guide to
Creating Rich Media Applications with Adobe Flex";
$book->bookid = "059652689X";
$book->publishdate = date( "F j, Y, g:i a", mktime(0, 0, 0, 11,
1,
2006) );
$arr[] = $book;
return $arr;
}
}
