Flex2 / PHP / MySQL Data Connection?

[Rocketeer]

Ok, here I am... a new Flex2 developer with a lot of Flash AS2 knowledge... but I have a question...

What is the best way to send and recieve data from an MySQL Server over PHP?

I heard of a lot of possibilities.... AMFPHP, PEAR:SOAP, simple POST/GET..... what is not a really good thing? I would like to use XML if possible, so probably PEAR:SOAP is a good thing...

Good question. I've been using AMFPHP with this fine, but if there are better options out there, it'd be good to know :-)

oh, i forgot.

I want to use the data with the datagrid component, also for editing. I already checked now various tools (also WebOrb). It's a little bit a horror for me, but it seems like good old post/get PHP will do it or at least together with the PEAR:SOAP class thing.

Maybe I also try the Flex Data Services Express thing....

I am working now since more than 3 months with AMFPHP and it's just awesome.
