I suppose it depends on the format your storing the date, the way I've been handling it is using as3 to parse the date string that AMF returns. Not sure if this is the best way, I'd be open to a better one!

Yeah, I am at the point where i will try populating the string of the date (php side) in a throw away prop and then on successful load coerce it into a true date object in the real prop that is then used for binding. But was hoping that if i got it in the right format serverside then the amf deserialization would just take care of it without having to write the converter code. The MySQL columns are date and datetime so there shouldn't be anything funky going on with the storage.

Hope that helps, I can attempt to help more if it doesn't. I've been using AMFPHP for awhile now... would be nice to make any contacts that use it!

Heh - i'll just say that it has been an... adventurous... experience getting upto speed on amfphp (or remoting of any kind for that matter). But now that it is mostly working, it is pretty sweet. I just hope to get the time to write up a comprehensive overview of all the pitfalls and assorted tidbits i found all over the net.

Cheers,
Nik
