hi baross,

not sure what amfphp is, but perhaps you could give an idea of what your level of php is and what u need to have made easier?

maybe also helps to post on the server-side forum?

are you having trouble with the sql query codes or transferring the data back to flash or?

cheers

i dont do remoting with php, but i do believe amfphp is the module that contains all the 'stuff' php needs to utiliize flash remoting.

an amfphp question definitely belongs here in the remoting forums.

i do my remoting with coldfusion.
i can do and used to do all my flash / db connections thru coldfusion without remoting, but since i started using remoting, i find it alot easier.
but then. its all what your used to.

i would imagine its the same in php. for some remoting is easier. for others they can knock the stuff out fast enough without it.

hi scott thanks for the reply, yeah thanks for moving my post who ever did that. sorry for messing the forum. I'm not actually having trouble at this stage I can do the basics, read from and write to but this has only been in one basic project with only one table and transferring one variable(cell?) at a time. I am now doing a more complex project and I was just wondering before I begin coding what is the best/easiest option I just heard about amfphp and Im wondered what the fuss was. tg thanks for your reply, now I remember why the amfphp site couldn't help me, it assumed I knew what flash remoting was, so my next question is what is flash remoting ? and how is different than just using a php ?

An Introduction to Flash Remoting - AMFPHP (http://www.flash-db.com/Tutorials/hello/flashamfphp.php)

Maybe that will help answer some things?

PS: I dont know much about it just trying to help.
