Using Yate's PHP library on windows

Test an existing PHP script on Windows.

Install PHP

Download and install the latest (version 5.4.8 at this time) php package from http://www.php.net/downloads.php. I suggest the self installer mirror.
Run the installer and don't forget to add the socket extensions (needed to connect to yate via tcp)

Setup a listener

Add the following section to extmodule.conf (the word after "listener" will become the module name)

extmodule.conf

[listener test]
type=tcp
addr=0.0.0.0
port=5039
role=global

Modify provided example php files

These are found under <yatehome>\share\scripts. Let's open test.php and modify it as following: change line 13 from

Yate::Init();

to

Yate::Init(true, "localhost", 5039, "");

(init without parameters uses unix sockets to connect - in windows you have to use TCP)

Test the installation

• Restart yate
• Execute php test.php
• connect to yate in telnet and type "external". Output should be:

>test

raise debug level (debug on) and you should be able to see timer messages.
