Flash + PHP: an Alternative to AJAX

The best PHP and DB Conference of 2006php/db|works 2006 Session Schedulephp/db|works 2006 Session Synopsis Index → Flash + PHP: an Alternative to AJAX

Speaker: Christian Wenz
Start time: Thursday @ 11:30
Duration: 1 hour
Talk synopsis: Combining the web's premier scripting language with the web's premier browser plugin can create really rich internet applications (RIA) -- even without JavaScript and AJAX.

AJAX applications require a browser with JavaScript enabled (about 90% of the users). Flash, on the other hand, is installed on up to 98% of clients (depending on the version). So, more and more websites use Flash for their frontend, and a mighty server-side technology on the backend (read: PHP). This session shows how these two can work together. Topics include support for XML, Web Services, and Flash remoting. Also, advantages and disadvantages will be discussed.
