Samples

Flex Samples - These samples make use of Adobe Flex technology and PHP.

Note: For some samples you must create a flextest database first. Use this flextest.sql file to create the database, tables and users before beggining.

Basic Samples
- REST This sample shows the use of Flex to read in XML created by a PHP script. There is no database required for this sample.
- REST with database This sample shows printing out records from a MySQL database in XML format, and using a Flex form to populate that database. Created by Mike Potter, updated by Pete Mackie.
  Note: You must create the flextest database first. Use this flextest.sql file to create the database, tables and users.
- AMFPHP Same example as REST with database, but using AMFPHP to transfer data back from MySQL, rather than printing out XML. Created by Mike Potter, updated by Pete Mackie. AMFPHP uses the newer AMF3 protocol.
  Note: You must create the flextest database first. Use this flextest.sql file to create the database and tables.
  Requires PHP 5 and higher.
Advanced Samples
- mysql_flex This sample shows the use of Flex to browse your MySQL databases. You need to set the database configuration in the MySQL.php file, located in the libraries/weborb/Services/ directory before running this.
- WebORB This sample shows how to use the WebORB for PHP library to transfer data to and from a Flex front end from PHP. WebORB for PHP uses the newer AMF3 protocol. There is also an example that shows how to pass login information to the server.
  Requires PHP 5 and higher.
- SabreAMF This sample shows how to use the SabreAMF library to transfer data to and from a Flex front end. SabreAMF uses the newer AMF3 protocol. Follow the instructions in README.txt file to build the application.
  Requires PHP 5 and higher.
- AMFPHP_objectmapping This sample shows how to use AMFPHP and Flex to access typed object data. There are two examples, one that uses Cairngorm and one that doesn't. Follow the instructions in README.txt file to build the application.
Flex / Ajax Samples - These samples make use of both Adobe Ajax technology (Spry framework) and Adobe Flex, with PHP on the backend.
1. Flex / Ajax bridge - Use the Flex / Ajax bridge to build applications like the feedburner sample that can talk from Ajax to Flex and vice versa. Check out the Flex / Ajax bridge sample to see its power in action.
2. feedburner - This sample shows retreiving data from Feedburner via Ajax, then using that data to populate a graph made with Adobe Flex. Created by Mike Potter.
