[osflash] AMFPHP vs SabreAMF vs WebORB

[Marcelo de Moraes Serpa]

Hello João,

I assume you're using PHP ? If so, I'd go with AMFPHP. However, I'm pretty
much interested on other flash/flex developers who used weborb for rails as
I plan on using it for some of my websites. Currently I'm using AMFPHP
together with CakePHP (through the CakeAMFPHP plug-in). The VO handling is
done on the client-side through a class that maps cake associative arrays to
their correspondend AS2 classes. It is possible in theory to use the amfphp
vo features with cake 1.1 but I haven't tried yet and that's also not the
question of the topic really.

Cheers,

Marcelo.
