[amfphp-cvs] examples/basic -- Error reporting

[Rick W. <rw...@de...>]

First do the CVS versions of examples/basic work?  I've tried 
credentials.fla and browse.php and found errors in both.  The 
question... is it a problem with my install, or something that needs to 
be fixed before 1.0 release?


Second, may I suggest adding the following to 
flashservices/app/Gateway.php right after you 
define("AMFPHP_USERDIR",...   (Line 30 in CVS)

--------------------------------------------------------
/**
  * Set error reporting so PHP errors are logged and not sent to client
  */
ini_set( 'display_errors', 0 );
ini_set( 'log_errors', 1 );
--------------------------------------------------------


This allows you to monitor all but compile errors from the Apache log 
file rather than having to hit the gateway with a web browser.  I 
believe this location will trap all flash remoting requests.


It might be even better to make the same settings in a <Location> block 
in the web server configuration.  Doing so will even catch compile 
errors, sending them to the log file instead of the client.   This might 
not be possible for all web servers, or all users so adding the lines to 
Gateway.php is probably a good idea.

On closer observation, they are warnings.  Is the library safe for use 
with error_reporting set to E_ALL?

Hi Rick,

For installation instructions, I believe most of our users will be on shared hosting meaning they 
won't have access to include_path installations. For local development, imho the best is setting an 
alias to flashservices in httpd.conf which will propagate to all virtual hosts.

The examples are now in the examples folder in the sources directory. browse.php is deprecated and 
should be deleted (I've just done this actually) since we are now working the the more complete 
service browser in flashservices/browser. gateway.php is deprecated too, the distribution version 
should include Gateway.php as such:

include realpath(dirname(__FILE__)) . "/app/Gateway.php";

Also, I don't think placing secured.php in the basic folder is a good idea, and instance name seems 
to me like very weak security. Perhaps we could talk about it in the manual though, as an advanced 
subject.

To me the php files in basic/services are fine, but the fla's aren't. For one they use AS1, and the 
updated AS2 framework is much better. Also, the examples are convoluted, they are not very easy to 
learn from beacuse of the multiples layers with code on them.

I think we should be consistent and offer AS2 examples based on the Service class, it's easier to 
read and since the user will be creating classes on the server-side, we'll have a very nice selling 
point of a 100% OO framework. AS2 is more appropriate for this kind of thing anyway.

credentials.fla should be moved into a 'secureservice' folder and I wouldn't dare keeping 
example.fla in a 'basic' folder.

Your suggestion on display_errors makes sense, and also setting up output_buffering and flushing it 
should solve some issues with NetConnection.BadVersion when there are extra blank lines in services 
files.

You should not get any errors using ServiceBrowser.php with the browser in flashservices/browser.

In your install instructions, you should mention that the browser folder should not be deployed on 
public servers for most purposes, since it gives direct access to the method definitions, which 
probably isn't wanted.

Please place your docs on the Wiki so we can all see it! (www.amfphp.org/wiki)
