Zend + AMF

Lee Brimelow discusses the official announcement of the addition of AMF support to the Zend Framework in this post. A couple of details that caught my eye…

The AMF implementation in Zend is being done by Wade Arnold who also works on AMFPHP. The development of AMFPHP will continue but the Zend implementation will be officially supported by Adobe.

Adobe is working with Zend with the goal of being able to install the Flex Eclipse plug-in into Zend Studio. Not sure if this will make me start using Eclipse, but one of my personal hang-ups is that I needed a separate editor for decent PHP editing.

Update: The former title of this post referred to ZendAMF. According to a recent post on Wade Arnold’s blog … “There is no such thing is ZendAMF. I have seen this on some blog posts. There is the Zend Framework with the amf protocol server implementation using the package Zend_Amf and the class Zend_Amf_Server.”
