asterisk users - Jun 2007 - PhpAgi call generation

hi

i'd like to write a simply application in php with phpAgi that:

- connect to Asterisk
- call an external number using a Zap channel
- play a message

here is some code:

<?php

$asm = new AGI_AsteriskManager();

if ($asm->connect()) {

$asm->Originate("Zap/g1/1","number","default","1");

/*
play message...
*/
} else {
        die("error\n");
}

?>

But it doesn't work.
Is it possible to create a program like this?
thanks

An alternative to this method might be to create a call file and place
it in the spool. Have it either dial and connect the caller to an
extension that plays that sound, or just execute that sound itself.
Right now, we use this functionality for a server scanner. When it
detects a particular port down on one of our machines, it will call us
and use festival to tell us what the problem is.

I've done this many times, also used the .call files.  If you don't need
your application to initiate the call the .call files are the better way 
to go, otherwise it's a bit too much file management overhead.

Here's some working code on our end.  In this case the Channel is 
actually a context which makes the actual call, but I've used it both ways.

<?php
  require('PHPAGI/phpagi-asmanager.php');

  $callid = 'Somebody';

  $asm = new AGI_AsteriskManager();
  if($asm->connect())
  {
    $call = $asm->send_request('Originate',
            array('Channel'=>"LOCAL/17165555555 at
voicepulse",
                  'Context'=>'called_party_context',
                  'Exten'=>'899',
                  'Timeout' => '1000',
                  'Async'=>'1',
                  'MaxRetries' => '5',
                  'RetryTime' => '5',
                  'Priority'=>1,
                  'Callerid'=>$callid));
    $asm->disconnect();
  }
?>
