I'm actually considering trying out the method that AlivePDF uses for sending a ByteArray in POST data without using AMF. Check out their code on the PHP side: <pre> <?php $method = $_GET['method']; $name = $_GET['name']; if ( isset ( $GLOBALS["HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA"] )) { // get bytearray $pdf = $GLOBALS["HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA"]; // add headers for download dialog-box header('Content-Type: application/pdf'); header('Content-Length: '.strlen($pdf)); header('Content-disposition:'.$method.'; filename="'.$name.'"'); echo $pdf; } else echo 'An error occured.'; ?> </pre> ^ Hows that for simple? I have read of people having problems with this method when sending image data, but it may be worth a shot as well. (And check out AlivePDF if you haven't - very young but very cool). Encoding images as Base64 really just comes in handy when images need to be stored in a database. I'll update this post when I get a moment. @Ben - That’s the more efficient way of doing this.

With that in place you can just do a file_put_contents on the server end and you're good to go. However, like you said, if simplicity on the server is what you're after, your method has legs simply because you don't need to install AMFPHP. Hey Scot,
