How to make automated Voice call application in php?

Question

I want to make a automated call application, which will dial some mobile numbers, and give the response to them, and also record there voice in wave and text format. is it possible in PHP, or there is any buildin function or classes for doing that?

Please ask more specific questions. "How can I make this or that application?" is a topic for a book, not a question that can really be answered here. — selfawaresoup, Jun 11 '10 at 06:40

can i connect it through my database?? – Harish Kurup Jun 11 '10 at 06:44
You need some glue code to pipe your data through, but you can access the API from your server (so yes, you can use your database). – Konstantin Haase Jun 11 '10 at 09:05

You can use asterisk and implement an IVR flow using AGI php scripts.

Asterisk is an open source telephony project. You install the software on a linux box, then you connect some phone lines (PSTN, ISDN, SIP, whatever).

Asterisk can be controlled by using AGI php scripts to build custom interactions (dial number XXX, play wave "Press one to do this, two to do that", read DTMF input from user, etc).

Hi, I have checked out Asterisks but I'm not sure it's what I need. I didn't fully comprehend it but it think it's for bug companies. I just need a voice call notification system. Not too different from basic SMS notification and not more than 10 seconds. Please how do i go about this? If asterisk is not ideal service for me, what else can i use? – Obi Ik Feb 17 '15 at 08:19
