Adobe has made a proposal for an AMF (Action Message Format) component in Zend Framework. This ZF component will allow for client-side applications built with Flex and Adobe AIR to communicate easily and efficiently with PHP on the server-side. Leading the design of the component for Adobe is Wade Arnold. Wade already has a track record of bringing the Adobe RIA technologies to PHP as a result of all of his work on AMFPHP.

This is going to make things in my life much easier as I’m becoming a Flex developer (not by choice) at work. Don’t get me wrong, I am having fun learning Flex but having to work with WebOrb is just a pain in the ass when there are such better tools out there.

Zend_Amf is being targeted for the 1.7 release as the release cycle for 1.6 is under way.

I’m going to watch this one closely.
