Thanx for the reply. The reason i wrote echo is, i was running the script on the command line, and i wanted to see if the particular function is running. Just like i do debugging in c++. I didn't know that it sends messages to asterisk. But again i was not able to see any message on asterisk server. One thing, it must be possible to run the php script file on command line, since it was the script which got executed when a particular no. was called. So now instead of calling the no. i am executing the script on command line. I wrote my problem, i get the ip of other machine on my asterisk server saying it has registered. But when i write the command to call the machine in the php script, the command just executed and moves to next command but call is not recieved. Here is the command line output at the server: debian-te410:/home/simmortel/www/wizoz# ./inbound1.php Hello, world!Hello, world!/var/www/wizoz/Hello, world! createdEXEC Dial SIP/wlg-gateway a STREAM FILE /var/www/wizoz/prompts/welcome "123" 0 a STREAM FILE /var/www/wizoz/prompts/welcome "123" 0 a Hello, world!5STREAM FILE /var/www/wizoz/prompts/record "123" 0 a RECORD FILE /var/www/wizoz/wav/1276758826 wav "0" 60000 BEEP s=5 a STREAM FILE /var/www/wizoz/prompts/messagesent "123" 0 a STREAM FILE /var/www/wizoz/prompts/thankyou "123" 0 a I have input a, because it shows ouput of any command when i enter any character exept carriage return..though this seems a foolishness. I don't know how to do this. You can also see hello world echoed on output. -- Nikhil Kumar summer intern:simmortel voice technologies rit2007033 b.tech IT 6th sem IIIT Allahabad contact at 9793905858 email: rit2007033 at iiita.ac.in niksinghania at gmail.com http://profile.iiita.ac.in/RIT2007033/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
