RE: [Flashcoders] AMFPHP for commercial projects
The protocol outputs data in open text. If they wanted the protocol to be proprietary it would have to be encoded or ciphered in a way that could not be decompiled or read by the end user. It is also based on an open standard; therefore, absolutely legal to utilize. AMF is essentially a lightweight binary version of SOAP. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of GregoryN Sent: January 26, 2006 1:21 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] AMFPHP for commercial projects Thanks a lot to all of you for answering.

[Flashcoders] AMFPHP for commercial projects
Hello Flashcoders, When talking with client about using Flash Remoting, I usually recommend to avoid AMFPHP in favor of ColdFusion or ASP.NET. But I love working with PHP (and AMFPHP in dev. projects). Question: What's your opinion and/or practice of using AMFPHP for client's project? Here's a source of my doubts: We do not recommend (at all) using AMFPHP in commercial applications at this time. Just don't. http://www.flash-db.com/Tutorials/amfphpdoc/amfphpdoc.php Thanks in advance. -- Best regards, GregoryN http://GOusable.com Flash components development.

Re: [Flashcoders] AMFPHP for commercial projects
I don't think there is a usability problem, the authors of that piece appear more concerned about some legality they do not name.

If it makes them feel any better, we just used it on the new Hilton site ( www.hiltonjourneys.com) and they didn't even blink. Used in sending the Create your own memory email. It sends the drawing and details. Works beautifully.

Re: [Flashcoders] AMFPHP for commercial projects
Question: What's your opinion and/or practice of using AMFPHP for client's project? So far, I haven't felt comfortable recommending it to clients, but I admit I haven't even looked at it as an option in more than a year, so I don't know what has been improved. If John felt comfortable recommending it to his clients, then I would hazard to say that I might be able to recommend it as well. It's really going to end up being more about how comfortable your client is with OSS software and how comfortable you are supporting it if it breaks. ryanm ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Re: [Flashcoders] AMFPHP for commercial projects
AMFPHP is really straightforward code -- any PHP programmer worth his salt could go in and fix if needed. It also keeps the option of moving to CF or Java open, since your AS2 will be the same. The project has picked up again and has been out of beta for some time. Mike ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
RE: [Flashcoders] AMFPHP for commercial projects
I've been using it for over 4 years on large-scale production projects for clients like Sunkist, Shea Homes, The Irvine Company etc... a lot of high-traffic sites with a lot of concurrent users. No problems, ever. And like Mike mentioned, the PHP code itself is really quite simple, if you don't like anything about it, just change it - I have on several occasions. I would highly recommend it. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Britton Sent: Thursday, January 26, 2006 12:56 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] AMFPHP for commercial projects AMFPHP is really straightforward code -- any PHP programmer worth his salt could go in and fix if needed.
