WebORB for PHP 1.2 release

New point release (v.1.2) of WebORB for PHP became available earlier today. The release contains several important fixes listed below:

1. Added support for platform independent path resolution. WebORB now uses DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR in the paths when loading user classes.
   
   
2. Added support for user-driven Flex destination source. Flex applications can configure RemoteObject instances to use a special catch-all - GenericDestination. You can set the 'source' field in the client-side RemoteObject instance to contain PHP classname as shown below (thanks to Renaun Erickson for figuring out how to do this in the WebORB code):
   
   remoteObject = new RemoteObject();
   remoteObject.destination = "GenericDestination";
   // YourPHPClassName.PHP must be deployed in the /Services folder
   remoteObject.source = "YourPHPClassName";
   remoteObject.helloWorld.addEventListener("result", helloWorldResult);
   remoteObject.helloWorld();
   
   
3. Added WebOrbServicesPath constant to simplify service class dependency resolution. Service classes can load other class using the following format:
   
   require_once( WebOrbServicesPath . "foo/bar/MyClass.php");
   // where foo/bar/MyClass.php is deployed into the /Services/foo/bar folder
   
   
4. Fixed complex type serialization bug preventing objects with non-public fields from being properly serialized to the client.
