Hi, With lot of help from Steve on this list I could get a Flex test application running with webORB and PHP-Firebird as serverside many thanks to him. We also trying run it with other AMF alternatives just for evaluation otherwise webORB is very satisfactory. Performance is acceptable, Easy to develop and deploy.
Now we have been advised by many ppl on Firebird-PHP and On this list also to have some PHP frameworks like Symphony, CakePHP, Zend etc. etc.as wrappers to server side PHP. We would like to know why we should wrap serverside with these framework and what will be the benefits in that. According to discussion we had it is going to add another layer in application then we fear about performance. But since these frameworks are there and being used extensively inspite of this issue there must be some advantage out weighing the performance penalty but since this is our first web application so we are not in position to judge that. Please help us in this matter. Similarly also suggest some good framework which is high performing, easy to code and deploy, if at all it is beneficial to use such framework on server side PHP. Thanks and Best Regards Raja
