X-amf mime-types

Hi All,

Just going through the amfphp flash remoting tutorial and when I went to test the simple_gateway.php file in my browser I get this error (see images attached)

I've been all through the httpd.conf file and I'm not really sure what I'm looking for. I can't find anything on php.net and can't quite decifer the info on the www.apache.org.

I'm using Mac OS 10.2.4

Any ideas ???

That is how it should be, You cannot view the gateway file in a broswer, because it is sending back headers that the flash movie is expecting, so viewing through a browser will just prompt you to download since the browser knows not what to do with the mime type, however flash does.

Thank freddy.

Feel a little stoopid though, as this line....

"If you get a blank screen then you're ready to go."

.. explains it all.

Thanks,

Jon

Different browsers handle things differently, I think the main goal of that statement is to make sure the file is accessible via the web server, so whether you receive a blank page or a propmt for download, it's still accessible, so you should be good to go.

Yep, got all the examples to work. Really want to get my head around this as I want to be able to code, from scratch, something like sephiroths image viewer... as it's exactly the kind of combination of flash / php / mysql I;ve been looking for, although the code seems pretty intense !

Thanks,

Jon

Actually I found the PHP end of that one to be a bit bloated. The guy has amazing skills, but I think the PHP could be touched up.
