If you have ever seen my blog gfxcomplex.com, I have been writing about amfphp vs ZendAMF for some time. I have some opinions about how amfphp was left to fall apart in the shadow of Zend AMF, but I shall leave that to my own blog to go into details about that. Besides that I have some good news, there looks to be a new group of people dedicated to bringing life back into amfphp. I’m not sure who did this but there is a new release of amfphp 1.9 uploaded today 2-2-10.
I have not yet looked into it to see what has changed, I would hope the patch to the regular expression problem that newer php versions caused. It feels good to know there are people still hard at work with amfphp, it has always been a good solution for flash to php.
There has been some definite activity since January. Most of it looks clean-up related.
Great news, I definitly prefer amfphp than ZendAMF, more simple and easy to use
long life to it !
@switcherdav – your comment is a strange one. What’s not easy about ZendAMF? They both allow Flash to send data using AMF, you still call Mehtods of the PHP class from within Flash, and its easily integrated into MVC frameworks.
Anyway AMFPHP was good but ZendAMF works well too.
@Kriztan – ZendAMF was convoluted at best when I made my first attempt at using it. The fact that when you go and download the amf package from zend you are told that is all you need but then to find out that you still need to download the whole zend framework because of missing dependency. That has never once happen with amfphp.
