Down the Rabbit Hole The moment you’ve been waiting for, let’s dive into the code. The application has two basic functions, the first is the login and the second is to fetch sales numbers.

Editor’s Note: This is part three of a four-part series on building mobile dashboards with Flash and PHP. You can still read Part One and Part Two on php|architect’s Website.

It’s time for the second instalment on our four-part series on mobile dashboards; this time, we focus on the user interface of our application.

Zend has just announced their latest partnership with RightScale, a leader in cloud computing management, to provide you with a new Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering. This is not just your typical PaaS, though, this will provide a “solution for deploying and managing business-critical PHP applications with high availability, elasticity and portability in the cloud.”

Adobe Flash Builder 4.5 will soon be available (release is currently scheduled for early May) to the PHP development community. Version 4.5, though, is not just the latest version of Flash Builder, it is the beginning of a partnership between Zend and Adobe. Flash Builder 4.5 is under the Adobe umbrella, but will come with Zend Studio 8 bundled in and will have the full backing of Zend. You will now be able to create mobile applications using the Adobe Flash platform and PHP in one integrated application. Both Flash Builder and Zend Studio have been built on the Eclipse platform, so you will be able to build Flex and PHP side-by-side.
