Sending Negative Integers through AMFPHP
There is a weird bug in AMFPHP regarding sending negative integers. If you try and send a number such as -87, it shows up as 4294967209 in php. I did some digging and found on the amfphp forums that it has to do with amfphp's readAmf3Int() method in AMFDeserialzer.php. Here is the updated function that was posted on the forum:
PHP:
-
function readAmf3Int()
-
{
-
$res = 0;
-
$int = $this->readByte();
-
-
if($int <128) {
-
return $int;
-
} else {
-
$int = ($int & 0x7f) <<7;
-
-
$tmp = $this->readByte();
-
-
if($tmp <128) {
-
$int |= $tmp;
-
}else{
-
$int = ($int | ($tmp & 0x7f)) <<7;
-
$tmp = $this->readByte();
-
if($tmp <128){
-
$int |= $tmp;
-
}else{
-
$int = ($int | ($tmp & 0x7f)) <<8;
-
$tmp = $this->readByte();
-
$int |= $tmp;
-
}
-
}
-
}
-
-
$mask = 1<<28;
-
$res = -($int & $mask) | $int;
-
-
return $res;
-
}

Thanks for sharing your solution, I thought I was going crazy when -1 in flex ended up as 4294967295 in my amfphp service. I was almost at the point of resorting to storing numbers as text!

Anyone experiencing this with Zend_Amf too? We do.

Thank you!!
I've been pulling my hair out all morning trying to get to the bottom of this.
