Sweet! Thanks for the update.

…now just need that service browser.

I’m happy.. but never satisfied.

Thank again for all your AMFPHP work and ZendAMF.

Slick! Nice addition, Wade!

Looks good, looks like it should potentially overcome one issue I’ve seen.

Previously I could add multiple classes with setClass multiple times… I actually still prefer that to just making a directory full of them.

The problem with setClass is that if different classes have conflicting function names (ie Foo::Bar() and Jaz::Bar() ) it would throw an error because the two Bar() functions conflict. I don’t have time to test the addDirectory yet, but does it overcome this some how? It looks like it won’t since the table is written with the function name as the first index.

hi.. Zend_Amf is great.. and its really help me a lot.. thanks for that.. i just have a question.. how can i log the error or fault error.. and im excited for the service browser.. thanks men…

Hi Wade,

I noticed that even on the latest release, on the Server class method getDirectory() on line 505 is returning a $_directory variable that doesnt exist. Instead it should return $_directories. Just wanted to point that out.

I am having some serious problem getting the addDirectory() method to work.
Im even thinking about going back to AmfPhp. I am 100% sure my paths are correct. My Classes have their methods commented. Im simply trying to replicate the same services folder functionality that AmfPhp had.

I can get it working fine if I manually include a class in the bootstrap and then use the setClass() method. That works great.

In my case, other than the a Login class method for logging in to my app, the other remote methods called will be determined by the user interaction with the app.

And yes, like I mentioned I downloaded the latest build yesterday and replace on my Amf folder with the new one. I was eager about switching to ZendAmf but its been a pain in the arse so far.

This is actually my first time commenting here in your blog. I’ve being using AmfPhp for a while now, and I absolutely could not work without it. Thanks for all your work on that. I have zero complaints on that.

Thanks,

Allen

Hi Wade and Allen
@Allen Scheinhaus
Try this: addDirectory(realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/../../services/what/ever/’));
Regarding the addDirectory-method I’ve experienced the following strange thing. To demonstrate I take the polular example of Mihai Corlan (http://corlan.org/2008/11/13/flex-and-php-remoting-with-zend-amf/). Using
$server->setClass(“MyService”);
$server->setClassMap(“VOAuthor”, “VOAuthor”);
everything works out well. If I use
$server->addDirectory(..)
I can read information, I can write a simple string, but I can’t write a (complex Value) Object. Any idea is appreciated.

Hi Wade, I noticed something strange. I setup a test application using the $_explicitType class mapping method for Zend_AMF. When I send an object [like addUser(user)] from flex to PHP i get the disconnected error but when I do a get [like getUser();] on the same object it works fine. I have been on it all week. So I decided to tweak the sample provided by Mihai at: http://corlan.org/2008/11/13/flex-and-php-remoting-with-zend-amf/comment-page-2/#comment-1741 and this is what i figured out.

I commented out:
//$server->setClassMap(”VOAuthor”, “VOAuthor”);
and added:
public $_explicitType =’VOAuthor’;
to the class VOAuthor in PHP.

… and then the datagrid in the sample throws thesame error when updating (i’e sending an object like addUser(user) to the server won’t work). So I added the $server->setClassMap to my test application and it worked fine. Am I doing something wrong or missing out something in using the $_explicitType method. I downloaded the latest release of Zend_AMF yesterday but thesame problem. I think my mapping is okay because I can get/receive but not send. Please advise. Thanks.

I’ve a problem similar to “yemi”:
I’ve put VOAuthor class into a package “business” (either AS3 and PHP) and if I use “$server->setClassMap(”VOAuthor”, “VOAuthor”);” (without specify package) then Zend work fine, while if I use “var $_explicitType =’VOAuthor’;” (into class) then Zend don’t work fine.

I receive from PHP (php_error.log):

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘Zend_Amf_Exception’ with message ‘Unable to parse null body data VOAuthor mapped class is not defined’ in C:\wamp\www\provaZendAMF2\Zend\Amf\Request.php:174

#6 {main}
thrown in C:\wamp\www\provaZendAMF2\Zend\Amf\Request.php on line 174

I prefer to write $_explicitType =’VOAuthor’; into every business class! Maybe Do it need the package?

In add … why I can’t specify a package? So I can’t write 2 class with self name!

for example I would write business.Utente and transition.Utente in PHP so in RemoteObject into Flex I can write source=”transition.Utente”

Thanks

Thanks for your reply … how I can download Zend_Amf from the svn repository???? I read only page html and it don’t give me a download button.

I tired to replace every file AMF from svc to my project, but the problem continue…….

I found another big problem with zend_amf… it is very slow into server of production, while into my machine (local) it work fine and fast.
Why? Exist a mode for quickly zend? I found many require_once into Zend’s page that delay the entire process ….

Hi Wade,
i have a problem with zendamf-flashcs3 on production server
on local server with wamp every think work fine
but on production server i received this error from flash :Error #2044: Unhandled NetStatusEvent:. level=error, code=NetConnection.Call.Failed

I have allready :Zend Amf Endpoint (on production server)
these are some PhpInfo :
PHP Version 5.2.5
Apache Version Apache/2.2.0
This server is protected with the Suhosin Patch 0.9.6.2
This program makes use of the Zend Scripting Language Engine: v2.2.0

Any Help will be apreciated
thanks

Hello Wade

i have been using this addDirectory method for quite time and it has worked quite well. But I have run into a roadblock with this. Consider this snippet:

$server = new Zend_Amf_Server();
$server->addDirectory( APPLICATION_PATH . “/services/” ); // Adding the services here
$server->addDirectory( APPLICATION_PATH . “/vo/” ); // Adding the value objects here
echo $server->handle();

Now the services are mapped like a dream. The problem is in VOs, where I am not able to map the VOs from php to Flex. The reverse works. I followed <a href="http://www.wadearnold.com/tutorials/zend/classmap/"?this tutorial of yours and just replaced the classMap with addDirectory. I used the $_explicitType construct in my php VO.

Is there a problem in my code or is there something that needs to be added some somewhere?

Thanks and Regards
