Manfred Webber, after reading an article from PHPBuilder, decided to show a "more standardized" method for communication between PHP and a Flex application. In his latest post, he shows how to use the PEAR Services_Webservice package to help make the connection.

Why not do the same with Flex and the PEAR package Services_Webservice which I think is a smarter way, if you want to use XML at all. Smarter because you use Web Standards and developers do not need to learn and parse the returned XML structure.

He includes both the PHP code for the web service and the cut&paste for the simple Flex application.

Manfred Weber has posted the first part of a quick series looking at pulling information from a PHP-generated SOAP web service inside of a Flash document.

A PHP Pear package to easily create Webservices and WSDL. After several tests with PHP and C# I thought it is time to find a better way in Flash to create backend-driven applications.

He starts with the creation of a simple web service that just returns a string ("Hello!") including what the information page would look like in a browser. Next up is building the Flash side of things - using the serivces.WebService object already in Flash to pull in the info for the service and make the call to the "hello" method.
