Building Rich Internet Applications with Zend
RIAs are dynamic apps that combine the flexibility, responsiveness, and ease-of-use of desktop applications with the broad reach of the Web. They deliver intuitive interfaces that that make it easier for people to view, represent, and/or interpret data.
PHP & Flex
Flex is an open source framework for creating applications that will be run by Flash Player inside the browser. Since applications built in Flex leverage Flash Player independently of the target system, developers don’t have to worry about the differences among browsers or operating systems, or different implementations of JavaScript and Cascading Style Sheets.
Adobe’s Action Messaging Format (“AMF”) support is built into Zend Framework. Zend AMF provides PHP developers the benefits of an open, binary, high-speed format for rapid client-server data exchange as well as helps ensure scalability of rich Internet applications, especially as data load increases, while simultaneously reducing development time.

PHP & Ajax
Applications built with Ajax make asynchronous calls to load XML data into the browser runtime using JavaScript. The browser passes only a small amount of data back and forth with the web server, thus eliminating the need to refresh the entire page. This approach improves responsiveness and interactivity, which in turn delivers a richer, desktop-like user experience.
Zend Studio aids developers using Ajax to deliver RIAs though Content Assist support for JavaScript-based libraries such as jQuery, Dojo, ExtJs, and Prototype, as well as a set of integrated Ajax tools that allow debugging of both the JavaScript front-end and the PHP back-end in one combined session.
