PhP and tapi on linux

shorif2000 · 06-11-2012, 08:25 AM

I believe COM does not work on linux and is only windows compatible. I have v5.3.8 php and I am trying to set up my php web application so that I can click on a phone number through a browser and it would dial it automatically. I am using splicecomm telephone system and software for the phones, they are ip based and use tapi.

Can anyone advise on how to do this?

I'm sorry to say that with the information you have provided (not even a link to splicecomm's documentation), no-one can. And I have significant professional experience with both COM and TAPI programming.

Do keep in mind that if you want direct support with Splicecomm's products, then you should contact Splicecomm. And if you want the application written for you, then you should place a job ad. If you want neither, then we need more information (such as your code and the error messages it produces).

I am new to this and i wanted to develop this myself. I did ask splicecomm and they gave me pdf which has interface definitions. Can you advise on how I would start or what I would need to do?

I can email you a copy?

No, you can't email me a copy. And I'm afraid that "how would I start or what I would need to do" a) is not answerable and b) should be apparent from the PDF.

Is it only the telephony part you're having trouble with, or do you also need help with, say, setting up and handling forms in PHP? Making the Splicecomm libraries available to your PHP installation?

This is what i currently have working, which I have set up following this link http://forums.sugarcrm.com/f5/window...-dialer-13080/

What I would like to do is not use any other external dialer and be able to call from webpage just by clicking on the phone number. I do not know how to make the Splicecomm libraries available to the PhP installation.

my current code

Code:

echo '
<tr>
<td>'.$ldapuser['displayname'][0].'</td>
<td>'.$ldapuser['mail'][0].'</td>
<td>Direct: <a href=\'callto:'. callTo($ldapuser['telephonenumber'][0]).'\'>'.$ldapuser['telephonenumber'][0].'</a>
Mobile: <a href=\'callto:'.callTo($ldapuser['mobile'][0]).'\'>'.$ldapuser['mobile'][0].'</a>
Extension: <a href=callto:'.$ldapuser['othertelephone'][0].'>'.$ldapuser['othertelephone'][0].'</td>
</tr>
';

function callTo($number){

$number = str_replace("+","00",$number);

//strip dashes


//check if internal users
// if not internal users return #

return $number
}

vbscript

Code:

dim phone, param, plen
param = WScript.Arguments.Item(0)
plen = len(param)-7
phone = right(param,plen)
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run ("\\pan\temp\Sharif\DialV4\dial.exe " & phone)
