I would like to do this, but I am having trouble figuring out how. I have
tried the following but it is not working for me:


***test.php***
#!/usr/bin/php -q
<?php
    require_once('phpagi.php');
    $agi = new AGI();

    $dialstr="IAX2/wayne/112 at testcntxt";
    $agi->SetVar("JAMES",$dialstr);
    exit(0);
?>

***extensions.conf***
[from-sip]
exten => 111,1,DeadAGI(test.php)
exten => 111,2,Dial(${JAMES})
exten => 111,3,Hangup



Thanks in advance for any help.

Checkout the "h" hangup extension:

In my first message I included the example script:

I have found why it didn't work.  I needed to call $agi->set_variable()
not $agi->SetVar.  This does what I wanted and expected.
