[asterisk-users] Dial out from AGI

[Roy Kidder]

I'm writing an AGI script and want it to dial a number on a channel
connected to the PSTN. It would look something like this (pseudo-code
follows):

if ($a){
  dial("8005551212");
}else{
  dial("8665550000");
}

The part I can't seem to get right is the "dial" function. I tried to
mimic the dial plan like so

sub dial($number){
  print "Dial(\"Zap/1-1\", \"Zap/g2/$number\")\n";
}

but I get the error

handle_exec: Could not find application (Dial(Zap/1-1,Zap/g2/8665550000)

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Roy
