Hi All, I'm trying to use a php script to send voicemail e-mail so i can send custom e-mail message based on what mailbox. on my voicemail.conf i have mailcmd=/var/www/voicemail.php but when i tried to call an extension and goe to voicemail i'm not receiving the e-mail. but when i execute "php /var/www/voicemail.php" on the shell, i can receive the e-mail. how would i know the asterisk is actually executing that command? also i'm using unixodbc for my voicemail odbcstorage=mydb odbctable=mytable not sure if that has an effect or not. TIA Regards Ron
The ODBC isn't having an effect, otherwise you couldn't run it
stand-alone.
Voicemail.conf states that changing the /usr/bin/sendmail -t is done at your
own risk. You could just do a system or AGI command to run your PHP script
whenever the voicemail application is called, like this:
- exten => s,1,dial...
- exten => s,2,voicemail...
- exten => s,3,AGI(php.agi) or
- exten => s,3,system("/usr/bin/php /usr/bin/voicemail.php)

Hi All,
I'm trying to use a php script to send voicemail e-mail so i can send
custom e-mail message based on what mailbox.
on my voicemail.conf i have
mailcmd=/var/www/voicemail.php
but when i tried to call an extension and goe to voicemail i'm not
receiving the e-mail.
but when i execute "php /var/www/voicemail.php" on the shell, i can
receive the e-mail.
how would i know the asterisk is actually executing that command? also
i'm using unixodbc for my voicemail
odbcstorage=mydb
odbctable=mytable
not sure if that has an effect or not. TIA
Regards
Ron

Hello Ron, I was thinking also to replace the email sent by the voicemail by a php script. My questions is simple, how do you manage to get the voicemail variables from the php script ? Or, maybe, you get from stdin the content of the "email" that should be send via sendmail ? Thanks in advance Best regards, Patrick

You could define emailbody to something like: emailbody=VM_CALLERID=${VM_CALLERID}\nVM_CIDNAME=${VM_CIDNAME}\nVM_CIDNUM=${VM_CIDNUM}\nVM_DATE=${VM_DATE}\nVM_DUR=${VM_DUR\ }\nVM_MAILBOX=${VM_MAILBOX}\nVM_MSGNUM=${VM_MSGNUM}\nVM_NAME=${VM_NAME}\n to make it somewhat easy to parse. If you need something else, you could stuff it into CALLERID(name) before calling the voicemail application. What do you want to accomplish? -- Thanks in advance, ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Edwards sedwards at sedwards.com Voice: +1-760-468-3867 PST Newline Fax: +1-760-731-3000
