[Asterisk-Users] AGI why oh why?

[Mark Ackroyd]

I have been learning AGI, and have got to grips with most of it, one thing
just confuses me.

I have written a PHP class that does input and outs stuff to the AGI. It all
seems to work. However on a stream file command. It's a bit different.

If I have a php file that just plays a file and hangs up, the dial and hang
up are in the dialplan, so the php proggie looks alittle like this.

$ast->out("STREAM FILE home \"\"");
$ast->in();

If I run this, with AGI DEBUGGING on I get something like this.

AGI Tx >> 200 result=1         // last line of the variables passed in.
AGI Rx << STREAM FILE home ""
    -- AGI Script callhandle.php completed, returning 0
    -- Executing Hangup("SIP/blah", "") in new stack

The program does not play the file, it simple hangs up.

If I place a delay in PHP program

$ast->out("STREAM FILE home \"\"");
sleep(20);
$ast->in();

I get..

AGI Tx >> 200 result=1
AGI Rx << STREAM FILE home ""
AGI Tx >> 200 result=0 endpos=62407
    -- AGI Script callhandle.php completed, returning 0
    -- Executing Hangup("SIP/blah", "") in new stack

Surely the stream file function, should play the file and wait until a key
press or finish before the script continues. ???

Is this what it's supposed to do or I have done something wrong?
