You guys are not going to believe what the answer was - smart quotes!! I swear, I know I am not the best programmer in the world, but I understand the logic of it, and it looked to me that I was doing everything right. But I got the include path by copying it right out of Explorer in Windows, and pasting it into my php.ini file. Sadly, it pasted in with smart quotes and not regular quotes. A guy on Stackoverflow spotted this somehow because there were strange symbols around my path in the error code, they look like little diamonds with question marks in them.
On a further note, I am doing things this way because I am trying to speed up my database queries and to decrease the amount of data that is being passed for cost reasons, and came across a blog post by Mihai Corlan that states that RemoteObject is much much faster using AMF than regular XML webservices, and in his examples, you have to create an index.php file, a value object php file, and your service php file to do the work on the PHP end, and then you have to create a value object actionscript class on the Flex side to map all of the data to their proper data types. But this blog post was written back in 2008, and I don't know how much Flash Builder evolved since then. So, my question is this, do you still have to do all of the value object mapping manually when you are using RemoteObject and AMF, or will Flash Builder build these classes for you when you connect it to PHP??? My thinking was that Flash Builder only did this for webservices and CallResponders, but not for RemoteObject and AMF. Am I wrong about this??
