Zend Developer Zone: Desktop Image Uploaders Using Adobe AIR and JavaScript
by Chris Cornutt July 02, 2008 @ 07:56:27
On the Zend Developer Zone today there's a new tutorial (by Jack Herrington) talking about working with Adobe AIR and Javascript to make a desktop application for uploading images (or any other files) to a remote server.
To solve the upload problem, most of the big services have dedicated upload applications that run on all the different platforms. But it takes a lot of work to develop them, especially when they have to run on both Macintosh and Windows. Or is it so tough? As it turns out, Adobe AIR technology makes it possible to write applications for any platform using just HTML and JavaScript. It also offers access to cool desktop features, notably drag and drop.
The tutorial shows how to make the application with the HTML/Javascript version of an AIR app (as opposed to Flex) that lets you drag and drop files into it to be uploaded. They make the basic file upload form first as a foundation then extend it to make it accept the remote request (via POST) from the AIR application to handle the uploads. Javascript code and screenshots are included.

PHPBuilder.com: PHP Object Remoting in Flex
by Chris Cornutt March 18, 2008 @ 12:05:53
The PHPBuilder.com site has a new tutorial showing you how to interface PHP with Adobe's Flex functionality and to use remoting to let them "talk".
They dive right in, throwing download links at you and working through setup steps to get your environment up and running. With that out of the way, they show how to get the demo set up that uses their weborb framework.
The end result of the article is a simple Flex/PHP application that pulls information from the database and pushes it into a datagraid for display.

PHPBuilder.com: PHP and Adobe Flex
by Chris Cornutt October 08, 2007 @ 09:37:00
On PHPBuilder.com, there's a new article that takes a look at the recently introduced (well, relatively recent) combination of Flex from Adobe and PHP to create rich internet applications.
Unlike HTML and the endless number of limitations it presents, Adobe Flex provides an intuitive environment with a vast number of options. There is a large variety of events and styles that far exceed what is available with custom coding in Javascript and CSS. [...] The purpose of this article is not to familiarize you with Adobe Flex, but to demonstrate its integration with PHP.
They introduce the concept of integration with a simple little script first - a "click me" button that makes "Hello world" appear when clicked. With that knowledge in place, they move to something a little more complex - the creation of a dynamic chart from database information (code included).

Charlie Key's Blog: Transmitting data between Flex and PHP using JSON
by Chris Cornutt September 06, 2007 @ 07:13:00
On his Adobe blog, Charlie Key has a new post demonstrating how you can transmit data back and forth between a Flex application and PHP using JSON messages.
In almost every RIA data needAdobe Flex makes implementing this solution an easy task. The solution explained in this tutorial uses PHP for the server-side programming and sends the data using JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) encoding. By the end of the tutorial you will be sending simple objects along with arrays of objects from your PHP code to your Flex client.s to be transmitted from a server to the client. [...]
There's a list of things you'll need to get started, the files you'll need to work with in the tutorial, and the steps to follow to make things work together nicely. Plenty of PHP and Flex code is included.

ParanoidFerret.com: Flex & PHP Tutorial - Transmitting data using JSON
by Chris Cornutt July 11, 2007 @ 11:54:00
On the ParanoidFerret.com blog today, there's a new tutorial showing how to get the Adobe Flex technology to talk happily with PHP over a JSON interface. Their example is a simple form that, given a person's information, finds matches from a backend XML.
To make sure we don't get too stuck in a rut with our tutorial posts I decided to branch out a little bit and talk about Adobe Flex 2.0. I recently spent a lot of time figuring out how to do this. Basically what I am going to go over here is how to use php and json to send data to your flex application, and then how to use that data in Flex.
He includes an example of the app in action plus all of the PHP and Flex code you'll need to make it work on your system. Since Flex has built-in JSON functionality, it makes it simple to query the resource and pull back the information that matches.
