hi all…

i’m porting an old application from 1.4 to 1.8 and have this problem with the agi scripts that is really annoying. basically when i try to set up a variable in the script like:

echo “EXEC Set caca=moo/sln/to\_hear\_this\_again”;  
echo “\n”;  
echo “EXEC Playback ${caca}”;  
echo “\n”;

i get

– Launched AGI Script /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/moo/test.php  
[Jan 31 22:54:11] ERROR[7103]: utils.c:1131 ast\_carefulwrite: write() returned error: Broken pipe  
– AGI Script Executing Application: (Set) Options: (caca=moo/sln/to\_hear\_this\_again)  
[Jan 31 22:54:11] ERROR[7103]: utils.c:1131 ast\_carefulwrite: write() returned error: Broken pipe  
– AGI Script Executing Application: (Playback) Options: (${caca})  
[Jan 31 22:54:11] WARNING[7103]: file.c:648 ast\_openstream\_full: File ${caca} does not exist in any format

it used to work on 1.4…

any ideas?

thanks…
