On his blog recently, Andi Gutmans has pointed out towards a proposal that Adobe has made for an AMF (Action Message Format) component in Zend Framework. Wade Arnold, who runs the AMFPHP project, is leading the Zend Framework work for Adobe.

The proposal gives PHP developers an Adobe sponsored AMF project, bringing AMF interoperability closer to what is available for ColdFusion and Java developers.

“We are excited about this proposal as it is consistent with our emphasis to be a heterogeneous “use-at-will” framework and as it substantially strengthens Zend Framework’s RIA story. It is also another industry heavyweight joining as an official ZF contributor and joining the likes of IBM, Google and Microsoft in doing so,” writes Gutmans.
