Thank you Olaf (sorry for the delay in replying) your reply was very helpful.
It is looking like PHP and MySQL is the best option for me. I've got to get my head around how they talk to each other and allow data to flow from MySQL to Flex objects. I'm unsure if I need (or should consider) a framework like Zend or WebOrb to assist. It may be determined by my client's corporate server restrictions. Out of curiosity, as Flex matures under Apache's watch what is the way forward for data-centric web applications? I can see clear trends in the Microsoft space such as ASP.NET MVC and Entity Framework, I wondered where Flex is heading and who is investing in cooperating with Flex developers to provide well integrated data connectivity.
