Read function in PHPAgi

Asterisk Asterisk APIs
1

Hi

I am using Read function is PHPAGI. It is working fine , play IVR , time out , repeat IVR all are working but it does not store DTMF value in variable. Following is code. Please advise.

$agi->exec(‘Read’, “DTMF,$main_ivr,1,2,3”);
$agi->verbose(“DTMF number entered $DTMF”)

the value of main_ivr plays but dtmf value should store in DTMF which does not.

Why dont use $agi->get_data() ?

Hi ambiorixg

Thanks for replying. One advantage of using Read is to easily control number of times IVR would be repeated. Moreover I was not able to play announcement through get_data. Following is code and Logs. I am using PHP 7 on cantos 7.

$result = $agi->get_data(${ivr},5000,1);
$keys = $result[‘result’];

$agi->verbose(“The DTMF entered by customer is $keys”);

You can control how many times the sound will be played also from the PHP code, I havent use read directly on the AGI class, if you want to do it I suggest read the documentation or use read directly on the Asterisk dialplan and pass the value back to the AGI as an argument

Yes Now I am controlling through dial-plan and passing argument. One question it may be issue of read or get_data due to new version of php? as I have previously used it in agi.
