Ok guys...I have a php script that allows a customer to click a link, put there phonenumber in and call me... I would like to modify this script so it does not call me it calls them, and plays a recorded message. here is the sample script

PHP Code:

#specify the name/ip address of your asterisk box
#if your are hosting this page on your asterisk box, then you can use
#127.0.0.1 as the host IP.  Otherwise, you will need to edit the following
#line in manager.conf, under the Admin user section:
#permit=127.0.0.1/255.255.255.0
#change to:
#permit=127.0.0.1/255.255.255.0,xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ;(the ip address of the server this page is running on)
$strHost = "222.222.11.21";   ; this is the IP of the asterisk server
#specify the username you want to login with (these users are defined in /etc/asterisk/manager.conf)
#this user is the default AAH AMP user; you shouldn't need to change, if you're using AAH.
$strUser = "USER"; user name on the Asterisk server
#specify the password for the above user
$strSecret = "password"; password for user on asterisk server
#specify the channel (extension) you want to receive the call requests with
#e.g. SIP/XXX, IAX2/XXXX, ZAP/XXXX, etc
$strChannel = "SIP/15554445555@voipinvite"; this is the telephone number the asterisk server will call.  I would like to replace this number with the phone number entered in the text forum
#specify the context to make the outgoing call from.  By default, AAH uses from-internal
#Using from-internal will make you outgoing dialing rules apply
$strContext = "callme";
#specify the amount of time you want to try calling the specified channel before hangin up
$strWaitTime = "30";
#specify the priority you wish to place on making this call
$strPriority = "1";
#specify the maximum amount of retries
$strMaxRetry = "2";
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#Shouldn't need to edit anything below this point to make this script work
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#get the phone number from the posted form
$strExten = $_POST['txtphonenumber'];
#specify the caller id for the call
$strCallerId = "AVS <18005555555>";
$length = strlen($strExten);
if ($length == 11 && is_numeric($strExten))
{
$oSocket = fsockopen($strHost, 5038, $errnum, $errdesc) or die("Connection to host failed");
fputs($oSocket, "Action: login\r\n");
fputs($oSocket, "Events: off\r\n");
fputs($oSocket, "Username: $strUser\r\n");
fputs($oSocket, "Secret: $strSecret\r\n\r\n");
fputs($oSocket, "Action: originate\r\n");
fputs($oSocket, "Channel: $strChannel\r\n");
fputs($oSocket, "WaitTime: $strWaitTime\r\n");
fputs($oSocket, "CallerId: $strCallerId\r\n");
fputs($oSocket, "Exten: $strExten\r\n");
fputs($oSocket, "Context: $strContext\r\n");
fputs($oSocket, "Priority: $strPriority\r\n\r\n");
fputs($oSocket, "Action: Logoff\r\n\r\n");
fclose($oSocket);
?> 


I think I just need to replace the code in this section, how can I get the phone number from the text forum, into this so my asterisk box will know where to direct the call

PHP Code:

$strChannel = "SIP/15554445555@voipinvite"; this is the telephone number the asterisk server will call.  I would like to replace this number with the phone number entered in the text forum 


OMG. These guys don't want to use the brain at all.

PHP Code:

$strChannel = "SIP/{$_POST['phonenumber']}@voipinvite"; 


Assuming that you have a form with POST method and phonenumber text field.

And BTW, what is this:

PHP Code:

#get the phone number from the posted form
$strExten = $_POST['txtphonenumber'];

Apologize for the lack of using my brain...I have zero understanding of PHP...but I do thank you for the knowledge and wisdom you have graced me with..I'll add it to my brain..add this to yours..

PHP Code:

$strExten = $_POST['txtphonenumber']; 


In the current script it takes the phone number from the php script and post it into my asterisk extension.conf dial plan
