here is my script:hello.php  
#!/usr/bin/php -q

\<?php require\_once('phpagi.php'); $agi=new $AGI(); $agi=answer(); $agi-\>exec('Playback','hello'); //hello is a gsm file in Sounds directory. $agi-\>verbose("hello done"); ?\>

here is my context:  
[test]  
exten=\>1,1,wait(1)  
exten=\>1,2,AGI(hello.php)  
exten=\>1,3,playback(vm-goodbye)  
exten=\>1,4,hangup()

after using SIP phone (X-litte) to call, Asterisk CLI display:

–launched AGI script /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/hello.php  
–\<SIP/truonglh-b7bbfca8\>AGI script hello.php completed, returning 0.  
But I don’t hear anything (my hello.gsm).I don’t know why! please help me!

Ah,if I replace exten=\>1,2,AGI(hello.php) by exten=\>1,2,AGI(agi-test.agi), everything work as expected! 😢 (agi-test.agi is already in agi-bin directory, and it is writen by perl,is it the reason???).

please help me!  
Thanks so much!

hey hero…In the second line u should have that file hello.php in phpagi folder, So that it can use phpagi.php.  
like this  
exten=\>1,2,AGI(/phpagi-2.14/hello.php)

and u should have the hello sound file in /var/lib/asterisk/sounds.

Once try with it…u may solve ur problem…all d best

go to directory of your file.  
Then from console type:  
./hello.php  
And see results.  
You can have different problems - file is not in /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/ directory./ Wrong permissions. Not installed all dependencies - I am using mainly perl, and cant say what exactly you have to install, but it is something like php-cli  
Of course - if permissions are wrong - you can start script from console, but Asterisk (which could run as different user) could have no permissions to run script.
