PHPObject 1.52

PHPObject provides an alternative to Flash Remoting for PHP developers.
PHPObject is an open source alternative to Flash Remoting for PHP developers. With PHPObject, users can call a method of a PHP class/library on a Web server as if the class/library was defined in Flash itself.
It takes care of client-server connections and makes passing of variables (properties) between Flash MX and PHP easy, and thereby providing a convenient way to connect rich media clients with data and business logic residing on a server.
The library, together with a WebServicesConnectivityAddOn, also allows developers to easily consume Web services from within Flash MX.
Main features:
- Handles most data types - arrays, objects, strings, numbers, etc. with multibyte character support
- When a PHPObject is created in Flash MX, it automatically gets its default properties from the remote object
- Validate whether method exists on the remote object before connection
- Allows only one server connection per object at a time to preserve data integrity (ie remote methods of the same object cannot be called simultaneously)
- [new in v1.1] More than one remote method can be invoked sequentially per connection (rather than having to make a new connection for each method called)
- [new in v1.2] Makes consuming SOAP-based web services easy
- [new in v1.3] Protect your gateway from unauthorized use with a key
- [new in v1.43] Allows parameters to be passed to the remote objects constructor
- Event handlers (responders) such as onAbort, onInit, onError, and onResult
- Responders can be defined for individual methods, eg. myFoo.doMethod_onResult = function(result){}
- Uses PHPs native serialize() and unserialize() functions for performance
Enhancements:
- added ability to declare a classMethods array in PHP class - when declared, this will determine what methods are exposed to Flash
- fixed deprecated code bug (when published to Flash Player 8)
