asterisk users - Sep 2009 - problem with agi script not getting variable

I am learning agi scripting using php. I m using phpagi 2.x on asterisk 1.2.
I hve written a simple script that reads out the callerid using flite. My
problem is that I seems the script is not getting the callerID.

Bellow is the script

_________________
#!/usr/bin/php -q
     <?php
     /**
       * @package phpAGI_examples
       * @version 2.0
       */

       set_time_limit(30);
      require('phpagi.php');
      error_reporting(E_ALL);

      $agi = new AGI();
      $agi->answer();

      $cid = $agi->parse_callerid();
      $agi->exec("Flite","\"Hello,
{$cid['name']}.\"");

       $agi->exec("flite","\"Goodbye\"");
      $agi->hangup();
   ?>

As you can see, the callerID is not palyed out. What could I be doing wrong?
