Flex/AIR and PHP apps

I want to maintain a list with RIA applications created using Flex and PHP (could be web apps or desktop apps). While this list is unlikely to be a complete list, I hope there will be enough applications to serve as a reference point or to inspire any PHP programmer.

If you developed such applications or you know one, please post a comment here and I will add it to my list. Thanks!

Disclaimer: it is possible that I mislabeled some applications as using PHP on the server. Basically, I used a Network Sniffer :D

    Flex and PHP work very well together. I am just starting.
    The above apps are great, I have some too but no where that nice or complex.
    Thank You for having a spot to check out some great work.
    Thank you.

    Hi Mihai,

    we just published our “Küchen Online Planer”, a kitchen planning tool build in FLEX, using PHP for the remoting: http://www.kuechen-atlas.de/online-kuechenplaner/ – We’re glad we’ve decided us to use Flex, though we had some trouble getting the 3D stuff done.

    Regards,
    Sebastian

    @Sebastian

    This is so cool. I will add it to my list tomorrow. Any plan to create an AIR app?

  11. 11. Sebastian [http://www.kuechen-atlas.de] on May 20th, 2009 1:59 pm

    @Mihai

    Not yet, first we’d like to internationalize and localize the app. And first of all there’s still some bug fixing todo ;) We already created an Air application to administrate our webservice and Air looks pretty cool to us…

    Hi Everyone,

    Your stuff looks cool; I have developed a flex app for billing of all kind with intregated business rules on fly (dynamic builder conditions/actions/updates…) and with computer grid feature to process the data.

    please take a look at :http://174.129.202.5/larecharge/application/ubcrm.html

    Hi,
    We’ve built a flex application called Newton. Newton is recruiting software aka applicant tracking system. We sell the application commercially mainly to small and medium sized business.

    There is a web demo on the site if you want to take a look at the app.

    Hi Mihai,

    The Salsa Beat Machine is a Flex application that lets you explore the Salsa music by interacting with the musical instruments, turning them on/off, changing the musical pattern they play, changing the key of playing (in case of Piano/bass), varying the tempo and much more.

    One of the neat features added in the last few months is the ability to save the machines you created to the server. This is accomplished by using a PHP backend on the server side.

    I hope you can add it to your list:

    Have a great year!
