AmfPHP is a Remoting Library for PHP. Key features are support for AMF among other Protocols, and developer tools such as a service browser and a client code generator.

History

  • In 2002 Wolfgang Hamman reverse engineers the AMF format to create a working gateway.[1]
  • Other developers (Justin Watkins, John Cowen) implemented a good part of the Remoting framework, and released 0.9b in september 2003.
  • In December 2004, Patrick Mineault releases version 1.0
  • In October of 2007 Wade Arnold took the lead of the project to bring a production ready release of AMFPHP with support for the AMF3 protocol. 1.9 beta 2 is released in January 2008, but then development stalls as Wade Arnold is hired by Adobe to work on Zend AMF.
  • Ariel Sommeria-klein and Danny Kopping pick up the project in December 2009. Version 1.9 is released in February 2010.
  • In 2010 Silex Labs is founded, and officially takes control of the project. Ariel Sommeria-Klein takes team lead.
  • version 2.0, a near complete rewrite is released in September 2011. [2]
  • version 2.1 is released in June 2012. [3]

Functionalities

  • Support for parsing AMF[4] and other protocols [5]
  • service browser [6]
  • plugin system[7]
  • Client code generation

Criticism

Since it is associated with the Flash platform, Silex is not well accepted by the open source fanatics[8]. It is mainly because Flash is not standard and therefore is not readable on some platforms, and it does not play well with assistive technologies[9]. The team said that the next version will also output HTML5, which would change all this.[10]

Silex has always had performances problems.[citation needed] This is because it is a mix of several technologies, including ActionScript 2 and javascript, which are known to be slow.[citation needed] And also it has a heavy framework inspired by traditional CMS.
