AMFPHP did this really well with result sets too - straight out of the
box like CF.

For database type data, Array of Objects.
Forget about XML.
With Coldfusion (and remoting) you can grab a database query result
and just send that straight to Flash/Flex and it will be transformed
into an Array of Objects automatically.
In CF it's as simple as:
<cfset var rsResult="" />
<cfquery name="rsResult" other stuff..>
SELECT * FROM table_name
</cfquery>
<cfreturn rsResult />
Seems they're still working on mapping PHP to AS objects:

Allthough, the article is from sept 2008, so it may have been
implemented by now.
So if class mappings are implemented (still have to take Zend AMF for
a spin) then that's the *best* option, but probably not the *fastest*.
At least in Coldfusion transforming plain vanilla objects into typed
objects slows things down (especially with lots of data).

Subject: [Flashcoders] Best data type for Zend AMF
Hi List,
I'm using Zend AMF, and i'd like to know what is the best way and
fastest to transfer data.
For instance; do i create an array from database data in PHP and
send it to flash? Or do i formatted array data from a database to
xml and send that to flash?
Which is the fastest? And more specifically; what datatype is the
fastest.
