now I just have to choose amfphp or zend_amf :)
I will take a closer look on both and see what are the pros and cons
thanks

Either way, you can definitely use just amf communication - without
using the rest of a huge mvc package.
Check out http://amfphp.org/
These websites were very helpful to me in figuring out the configuration:
http://www.howtoforge.com/amfphp_adobe_flex2_sdk
http://viconflex.blogspot.com/2007/04/mapping-vos-from-flex-to-php-using.html
The main reason I'm sticking with amfphp is because of their amf service
browser - which makes debugging VERY easy.
Unlike one of the other posters, I've had no trouble debugging amf
objects at all. I never had reason to try and look at the binary
content... I put break-points in the flex builder to see what objects
look like in the debugger when they come over from PHP - and I put
error_log()-type statements in the php code to see what data looks like
coming over from Flex.
All in all, I've found amf to be very easy to work with.
Good luck!

I have experience with amfphp, and it works as promised (no
experience with Zend_AMF). However, if I could do it over again, I
would probably just use json / json-rpc. AMF is a really tight
serialization format, but it makes debugging a pain in the neck
because it is not human readable. AMF has some performance advantages
if you are sending loads of binary data, and it has features for
dynamic record sets.
I avoid XML where possible for communicating with the client. With
XML you have to write custom code to serialize and deserialize, or
bundle a massive soap library on the client side.

An application I work on uses JSON to communicate. I've adjusted our
.htaccess file to print out a JSON string. Note: pick only ONE,
depending on which version of Apache is in play. Note: remove line
wrap.
In Apache 1.3:
ErrorDocument 500 "var response = {"code":500,"message":"Apache
server error"};
In Apache >= 2.0:
ErrorDocument 500 "var response = {\"code\":500,\"message\":\"Apache
server error\"};"

Being as NYPHP has an informal working rapport w/ IBM, I thought this

Thanks a lot
I need to transfer a lot of binary data and in addition I need it to be
as much dynamic as possible so I will try to use zend_amf then but
without MVC structure - I think it is too much for small one-man project
