Issue with TestPerson Remoting Example

[AndyGMD]

Hi,

I am using Flash CS4 and have plugged in your TestPerson example from your pages. I have amfphp working and successfully got the SimplePerson example to work for me.

There is one issue I have with TestPerson. The error I get is this when testing the flash movie from CS4:

Argument 1 passed to TestPerson::savePerson() must be an instance of Person, array given

I verified this was the case by changing the function param to just $p (from Person $p) which allowed the remoting example to work, I dumped (traced) the contents of $p and it is an array with its elements being the members of the flash Person class that was passed, followed by the package name com.flashdb.Person.

I could then use the array to call the Person() constructor, but I think I am missing something because I seem to be the only person seeing this issue. I searched the forums here and found one person reporting a similar error, but in their case they had not put the Person.php class in the right place and I know my Person.php is working (because it successfully saves/loads data after I made the array changes).

I am new to remoting and your examples and tutorials have helped me understand quite a bit, but I'd like to figure out why I get an error that others do not seem to be getting...

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Typed parameters begins with PHP 5, previous versions will work with untyped arrays

Jorge, I tried it on two different webservers, one was compiled with PHP 5 (specifically 5.2.3), the other with an older PHP 4 version, but both gave me the same error until I removed that Person type specifier for the function parameter.

It doesn't really matter to me because I can use it as is by converting the assoc. array to the object before processing it, but I was curious as to why I was seeing that error.

Thanks!
