asterisk users - Nov 2006 - AGI PHP Issues (AGI script runs but phone hangs up too quickly)

Sorry to re-post this but I'm sure it's something simple that someone
has
found before.

 

To summarise:

 

Dial plan answers the phone

AGI script executes

AGI debug in console show phonetics ABC - However no audio at all on the
phone and this step is less than 1 second.

Dial plan Busy

Phone hangs up.

 

Total time less than a second.

 

This is such a simple AGI script do I need the PHPAGI Library - this seems
like a sledgehammer to crack a peanut.

 

Thanks again.

 

Original post:

 

 

I am attempting my first go at a simple AGI application using PHP (Getting
Asterisk to SAY PHONETIC ABC).  I have dabbled with PHP but I am by no means
a professional standard developer.

 

My script seems to execute ok, and I can see asterisk playing the sounds but
my phone goes from ringing to busy, and I don't hear the phontics.

 

Below are the relevant bits from my PHP, Console, and extensions.conf.

 

I would be most grateful if someone could show me the way.

 

Thanks in advance:

 

Chris

 

 

 

Asterisk ver: 1.2.10

 

PHP:

#!/usr/local/php/bin/php -q

 

<?php

 

$stdin = fopen('php://stdin', 'r');

$stdout = fopen('php://stdout', 'w');

$stdlog = fopen('/var/log/asterisk/my_agi.log', 'w');

 

 

while (!feof($stdin)) {

 $temp = fgets($stdin);

 $temp = str_replace("\n","",$temp);

 $s = explode(":",$temp);

 $agivar[$s[0]] = trim($s[1]);

 if (($temp == "") || ($temp == "\n")) {

    break;

   }

}

 

fputs($stdout,"SAY PHONETIC \"abc\" \"#\" \n");

fflush($stdout);

 

$msg  = fgets($stdin,1024);

fputs($stdlog,$msg . "\n");

 

?>

 

Extensions.conf:

 

exten => 4343,1,Answer

exten => 4343,2,AGI(example.php)

exten => 4343,3,Busy

 

AGI Debug:

 

AGI Rx << SAY PHONETIC "abc" "#"

    -- Playing 'phonetic/a_p' (language 'en')

    -- Playing 'phonetic/b_p' (language 'en')

    -- Playing 'phonetic/c_p' (language 'en')

    -- AGI Script example.php completed, returning 0

    -- Executing Busy("SIP/4321-081b9498", "") in new stack

Perhaps Asterisk is playing the phonetics in the background (like Background
instead of like Playback)?

Try putting a Wait(5) after the AGI (or even a sleep(5) within it), to see.

General question for anyone that knows: Is there a way in the Dialplan or
or in AGI to wait for Background messages to finish playing? Perhaps doing
a Playback of a file containing a very short length of silence?

Cheers
