Working with Flex and PHP in Eclipse
Developers who work with Flex and PHP can boost their productivity by combining two tools: Flex Builder and Zend Studio for Eclipse. This setup lets you create a combined project with Flex and PHP natures and reap the benefit of coding in both languages. (In Eclipse, natures link a project with specific builders and other settings.) The setup also enables you to debug your Flex and PHP code at the same time.
In this article I will show you how to install Flex Builder 3 together with Zend Studio for Eclipse, how to create a combined project, and how to debug a project that uses Zend AMF to send data between Flex and PHP.
