SabreAMF is an AMF client and server for PHP5. The goal of the project is to create a solid lean AMF library, fully PHP5 E_STRICT-compliant.

SabreAMF should fully support the entire AMF0 and AMF3 protocols. The BSD licence is chosen for legal flexibility.

The main target audience is people who want to add AMF/Flash Remoting capabilities to existing PHP frameworks or applications.

• Category: AMF Server/Client
• Audience: PHP/Flash/Flex developers
• Platform: Any, requires PHP 5.2 to be installed
• Maturity: Stable
• Licence: BSD

You can download the package here.

If PEAR is installed on your server, you can simply enter the following on the command line:

pear install http://sabreamf.googlecode.com/files/SabreAMF-1.1.187.tgz

If you don’t have PEAR, simply download the package, unpack it using “tar xfvz packagename” and rename the SabreAMF-versionnumber folder to SabreAMF.

The SabreAMF folder needs to be either in your working directory, or in your include_path to work. The PEAR installer does all these steps automatically.

An example to setup a proper AMF0/AMF3 gateway can be found in the source browser.

Also, you can browse through a few more in depth-articles.
