What's currently the 'best' way of doing this? Last time I did it, I used the old LoadVars object & external PHP files. Right now, it seems like AMFPHP is fairly popular. Any other ways to do this? I'm primarily thinking low-maintenance, as this is for a freelance thing I have no control over server/deployment for.
Thanks.

there's SWXPHP if you're using AS2. they have an AS3 version coming one of these days. at least in AS2 I found it to be simpler than AMFPHP.
you can also go the xml route, and have the xml generated server-side

The XML route is nice, but I also need to be able to write to the database so I'm back to needing some way to integrate. My only issue with AMFPHP/SWXPHP is that they seem to need additional work done on the server side of things (i.e. they're not able to be just 'dropped in' and work).
Still, I hadn't heard of SWXPHP, so I'll give that a look too - Thanks!
