Here's how you can pass variables to be executed by a PHP script.

From your voicexml document you need to submit your variables to the script.
eg.
<submit next="http://yourwebpagepath/voicexml.php" namelist="someVariableName" />

This submits the variable someVariableName to your PHP script that is located in your web directory. The script will pass back a VXML page that tells the VXML browser to read back the value of someVariableName.

The voicexml script needs to look like this...

<?
header("Content-type: application/x-vxml");
echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>\n";
echo "<vxml version=\"1.0\">";
echo "<block>You passed the variable $someVariableName.</block>";
echo "</vxml>";
?>

Note:
You need to include the header at the top and
that you must use echo not print. Other than that, you just code as you normally would with HTML and PHP.

Hello,
I have made a few simple VXML apps and I have a basic understanding of it.

I know PHP/MySQL.

I want to combine the two.

Are you saying in your posting that instead of naming files file.vxml, files should be called file.php?

Also, are you saying that if files with the php extension are being used that all the VXML code is outputted using echo?

If you are not saying this, I see how to pass the variable from the VXML file to the PHP file, but I don't see how to pass it back from the PHP to the VXML file.

Unless the output of the database query is formatted in VXML in the PHP file and outputted to the caller using the echo statement.

Could you clearify how this works?
Thanks,
Jose

Dear Jose

Are you saying in your posting that instead >of naming files file.vxml, files should be >called file.php?
Only if you are submitting something to a php script. Because the extension of the file that you are submitting to must be ".php" in order for the file to be recognised as a php script. Otherwise vxml files need the ".vxml" extension.

Also, are you saying that if files with the >php extension are being used that all the >VXML code is outputted using echo?
If you want the php script to return something for your voice server then you must "echo" out the vxml code.

If you are not saying this, I see how to >pass the variable from the VXML file to the >PHP file, but I don't see how to pass it >back from the PHP to the VXML file.
As far as passing variables back to the VXML file - all you need to do is echo the vxml code with the varible name but make sure that you give it a value first with your php code. In fact I think that my example does this.

Good luck Roland
