Hello,

I’m trying to select and play voicemessages which are saved in database with PHP + AGI. What I have so far is

#!/usr/bin/php
<?php

$db = 'test';
$dbuser = 'root';
$dbpass = 'xxxx';
$dbhost = 'localhost';

mysql_connect($dbhost,$dbuser,$dbpass);
mysql_select_db("$db");

$row = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM voicemessages WHERE mailboxuser='5634'");
while ($result = mysql_fetch_array($row)) {
          $name = $result['dir'].$result['recording'];
          $tmpName = $result['recording'];
          $size = $result['duration'];
          $type = 'wav';
          $fp      = fopen($name, 'r');
          $content = fread($fp, filesize($tmpName));
          $content = addslashes($content);
          fclose($fp);

          echo $content;
}
?>

and in dialplan I have simply this. extension.ael:

        9999=>{
                NoOp();
                WaitExten(1);
                AGI(/var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/playback.php);
        };

The output in CLI is:

Is it possible to be done like this?

You haven’t written an AGI. An AGI has a specific interface and way it works, and you can not just send it the contents of a sound file and have it play. You have to use the AGI interface to tell Asterisk to play a sound file on disk.

I’d suggest looking for an AGI library to start with and going from there.

Thanks for the answer. Unfortunately I don’t see the command in the commands list which will tell Asterisk to play a messages.

The command is documented[1] and it plays back a sound file from disk.

I saw it and didn’t understand that is used for this. I will start reading it. Thanks for the help!
