Zend Framework 1.7.0 released w/ AMF support
November 17th, 2008
Super excited that the new 1.7 release of the Zend Framework is into production. It has been a pleasure to be a part of this team. The guys at Zend are A+ programmers and I have learned a lot by being able to share this experience. I have never been on a group that had as high of expectations for the completness of their code and this is why the framework is so solid. Thanks Wil, Stas, Matthew, and Adobe for a chance to work with such a fantastic group!
And now back to MAX!


Hi, Wade!
I am unable to find feedback form or your email to contact you directly, so..
I have a brain f**king problem with ServiceBrowser (from latest amfphp 1.9).
If I call my method with $arg = “abcd” – I’ll receive same value “abcd”. But! When I call method with $arg = “123abcd” – I’ll receive “123″ value as integer!
This is a ServiceBrowser broblem because same call from simple custom SWF will produce expected result, i.e. “123abcd” as string. Deserializer is not affected – phpamf extension was not solve the problem.
So, question: is it possible to hack this problem or replace ServiceBrowser with another one?
Env: Ubuntu 8.10 / Flash 10 / Firefox 3 / amfphp 1.9 20080120 / php 5.2.6
PS: I’ll be very grateful if you reply me by email.
Hi Wade!
CONGRATULATIONS! You really deserve it… And as a flash developer thanks to Zend for giving me so many new toys to play with…

That sounds like a service browser bug not an amfphp bug, you could perhaps try swapping the Amfphp 1.9 service browser with the SWX service browser:

by simply deleting your old service browser directory and replacing it with the swx service browser…
Hi Wade,
first of all thanks for this great extension to the ZF. I have a little Problem with it though, but maybe I’m simply mistaking something. In the documentation it’s said that there are three ways of mapping a typed class. For me mapping from AS to PHP only works using the setClassMap() method. Mapping from PHP to AS works in all three ways. Am I missing on something here?
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
Best reagards,
Bjoern
@Bjoern I will update the documentation as there is three ways to return data to Flex as a typed object but only setClassMap() allows you to set the incoming class from ActionScript to me mapped to PHP. Thanks for the find!
