        * AMFPHPRemoteGateway serves as a generic implementation for creating
        * AMFPHP gateway connections in which methods can are invoked on remote
        * PHP objects. AMFPHPRemoteGateway supports both mxml and ActionScript
        * implementations.
        *
        * <p>The following is an example of how to implement AMFPHPRemoteGateway
        * in mxml to invoke a method on a remote PHP object utilizing AMFPHP.</p>
        *
        * <p> The mxml below imports AMFPHPRemoteGateway via the 'service'
        * namespace. An instance of AMFPHPRemoteGateway is instantiated with
        * an id 'gateway'. The 'gatewayURI' method is passed the URI of the
        * AMFPHP root directory 'http://dev.ericfeminella.com/amfphp/gateway.php'
        * A remote PHP class 'remoteServiceClass' is passed to the 'remoteServiceClass'
        * method. Finally a result method is passed to the 'resultResponder' method
        * as well as a fault method passed to 'faultResponder'</p>
        *
        * <pre>
        * xmlns:service="com.ericfeminella.net.*"
        *
        * <service:AMFPHPRemoteGateway id="gateway"
        *          gatewayURI="http://dev.ericfeminella.com/amfphp/gateway.php"
        *          remoteServiceClass="data.business.EmailDelegate"
        *          resultResponder="{this.result}"
        *          faultResponder="{this.fault}" />
        * </pre>
        *
        * <p> The following is an example of how to invoke a 'send' method on a
        * remote PHP class 'EmailDelegate' via AMFPHPRemoteGateway in ActionScript
        * is as follows:</p>
        *
        * <pre>
        * this.gateway.invoke("send",
                              *                     "recipient@recipientsdomain.com",
                              *                     "AMFPHP Test",
                              *                     "Your Name",
                              *                     "youremail@yourdomain.com",
                              *                     "Your message")

CLOCK AND DATE SET BY SEVER (GMT) TIMESTAMP, PHP

/*
GMTtimer, DIGITAL FLASH CLOCK AND DATE SET BY PHP HOST SEVER GMT TIMESTAMP,
2004 by www.advance-media.com

The GMTtimer displays (GMT) Greenwich Mean Time or so-called (UTC)
Coordinated Universal Time or world time, the timer can be set to your local time zone (php part).
Flash's Date (object) is set by the current GMT php host server timestamp in
milliseconds since the Unix Epoch (0:00:00 January 1, 1970 GMT).
No manipulation or predating any more by resetting the local client sided system
clock or date,which usually synchronizes Flash's Date (object).
Show different content at an exact and server fixed point of time!
