I run the php script from the command line, it contains:  
$asm-\>Originate(SIP/305, ‘’, ‘’, ‘’, ‘AGI’, ‘test.php’, ‘’, ‘’, ‘var1=41283’);

It Originates the call to test.php, which has:

#!/usr/bin/php -q

\<?php set\_time\_limit(0); require('phpagi.php'); $agi = new AGI(); $agi-\>answer(); $matt = $agi-\>get\_variable('var1'); var\_dump($matt); Now when it runs test.php, i get this in the cli with agi debug on: AGI Rx \<\> 200 result=0 AGI Rx \<\> 200 result=1 (41283) AGI Rx \<\> 510 Invalid or unknown command AGI Rx \< AGI Tx \>\> 510 Invalid or unknown command AGI Rx \<\> 510 Invalid or unknown command AGI Rx \< AGI Tx \>\> 510 Invalid or unknown command AGI Rx \<\> 510 Invalid or unknown command AGI Rx \< AGI Tx \>\> 510 Invalid or unknown command AGI Rx \<\> 510 Invalid or unknown command AGI Rx \<\> 510 Invalid or unknown command The unknown command lines are fine, ignore that. (ive tries verbose($matt['data']) and alot of other ways with the same blank result) See it gets var1, and shows the correct answer on the next line. But when I do vardump($matt); it is no where to be seen. Ive tried so many ways to do this, what could be going wrong???
