[asterisk-users] problem to get MWI working

[Asghar Mohammad]

HI Asmaa,
I don't know how MWI works in Voicemail but as i understand it just create
a .call file and put in /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing and asterisk execute
that file.
i am using similar method for sending fax to from email.

i show you some examples from my php scripts.

1. in voicemail   context
exten =>_X.1,VoicemailMain()
exten =>h,1,exten => h,n,System(/usr/bin/php path to php script
 ${CDR(accountcode)} ${FAXEDNUM} ${CALLERID(num)} ${FAXSTATUS}
${CDR(duration)} ${UNIQUEID} ${CALLCOUNT} ${TIFF})

pass variables to script as you need.
**************************************Part of php************************
2. script do some checks on saved VM of Fax if it is too short or
incomplete just delete it or do want you want.
in script collect variables pass to it.
 $argv;
$accountcode = $argv[1];
$callednum = $argv[2];
$callerid = $argv[3];
$faxstatus = $argv[4];
$billtime = $argv[5];
$unid = $argv[6];
$callcount = $argv[7];
$faxtiff = $argv[8];

Create .call file somewhere but not in /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing

$filename = "path to call file/$accountcode-$unid.call";

Remove old call file with same if any.

system ("rm -f $filename");

Create Contents of file as you need

$Content = "Channel: $providertech/$callednum@$providerip\nCallerID:
$callerid\nWaitTime: 180\nMaxRetries: 0\nRetryTime: 300\nContext:
fax-out\nExtension: $callednum \nArchive: false\nPriority: 1\nSetVar:
SENDER=$callerid \nSetVar: TIFF=$faxtiff \nAccount: $accountcode \nSetVar:
CALLCOUNT=2";

Open file and fill it.

$handle = fopen($filename, 'x+');
fwrite($handle, $Content);
fclose($handle);

if you want execute call file after some delay change timestamp.

system ("touch -d '3 minutes 11 seconds' $filename");

Move file to /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing

Note: don't copy the file but MOVE the file. if you copy the file asterisk
may execute partial file.

system ("/bin/mv $filename /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing");

you can use any scripting language.

Hope this will help you
