So I've wrapped up all this goodness in a Flash class PHPLoadVars (also works with Ruby, so I'm told) which allows you to send any multidimensional object's variables direct to PHP, with no server-side scripting at all. Your method is great for the receiving side as well, but for a basic send, I don't this can be beaten. More information here: http://www.keyframesandcode.com/code/development/flash/actionscript/flash-phploadvars-class/ Cheers, Dave Hi Manfred,

It is not more then an overlaying wrapper which generates the wsdl automatically and instanciates a PHP5 Soap Server. Hi Evert, this Webservice package is built on PHP5´s built-in soap.

I'll keep this bookmarked.. I need to get into SOAP for my job pretty soon, and so far everything i touched turned out pretty horrible in terms of interoperability.. Maybe for an idea of part III, use PHP5's built-in soap stuff. It should be a lot faster than the PEAR stuff.. Pretty interesting.. I’ll keep this bookmarked..

But like you and other said, the alternative can be amfPHP, and that's what I generally use for flash-PHP application (flash games, flash dynamic websites, and so on). But it is still a good example of what can be done and how easier it is to make flash communicate with a server side language like PHP than before with the crappy loadVars for instance (that we still use for small needs indeed).
