Well, sincerely I haven't used any of those, but I'm always in the opinion that if the core provides it, using another framework in top of it just makes things slower and harder to mantain :)
And believe me, generating a plain XML file in PHP according to a query on a table is pretty straightforward, retrieving it via httpservice in Flex is 0 lines of code (just declare the HTTPservice, bind the request to your parameters, and you're done forever), and if you can filter your lastResult with E4X binding the E4X expression to any bindable variables in your code, you'll get one piece of code that has ZERO lines of actionscript (just the XML tags), that will work forever, and that you don't have to care about it anymore :) Something like (check syntax thoroughly, I'm writting all from the top of my head): <mx:HTTPService id="studentSrv" url="http://..../yourservice.php"; type="E4X"> <mx:request> <id>{studentGrid.selectedItem.id}</id> <anyother>{whatever}</anyother> </mx:request> </mx:HTTPService> will always call "yourservice.php?id=<the_selected_id>&anyother=whatever" each time you call studentSrv.send(). If yourservice.php returns the module list for that given student ID, and you then bind studentSrv.lastResult.modules.(@id!=selectedId} to your datagrid, any time you call studentSrv.send() you get 100% FOR FREE: 1. urlencoding of the ID and ANYOTHER parameters, and one call to yourservice.php with the parameters correctly encoded 2. Parsing of the XML response on studentSrv.lastResult, taking care of everything 3. filtering of lastResult, acording to your E4X expression 4. triggering of the update in the datagrid, as result for a change in the binded dataprovider (which includes the E4X expression) All of it with 0 includes, 0 frameworks, 0 lines of code, and 0 compilation error out of the box :) Cool, isn't it? ;) On Wed, Mar 26, 2014 at 10:32 AM, SmileySnr <[email protected]> wrote: > Thank you for your prompt response Javier. > > I have been using the Zend Framework to auto code php scripts with Wamp 2.4 > to provide the back end web and database.
