Howto:Initiate a Mobility CallBack via simple HTTP GET or POST request

This article describes how to setup a PHP script to enable CallBack on Mobility devices supporting IP CallBack only via simple HTTP GET or POST request.

Applies To

This information applies to

• innovaphone PBX, V9 hotfix 3
• PHP, version 5.2

More Information

The innovaphone PBX supports CallBack via IP via SOAP API for all User Devices registered on it, but also for Mobility For destinations.

In order to use this CallBack feature SOAP API must be used. If only a simple HTTP GET or POST is supported on client side, a sample PHP script described in this article, can be used to convert simple HTTP requests to SOAP messages for PBX.

Configuration

First download the sample PHP script and extract it to a folder on your PHP 5.2 enabled web server.

The sample contains following files:

innopbx.class.php

PHP implementation of SOAP API for innovaphone PBX

logger.class.php

simple logger for debugging, writes into local text file

mobility.php

sample script

The mobility.php script takes parameters for call back from POST or GET request and initiates a call via SOAP API. The HTTP credentials for SOAP session are hard coded in the PHP script (you may change it to submin the credentials with each HTTP request).

Example GET request with following URL:

http://192.168.0.1/mobility.php?cn=Reiner%20Zufall&e164=123&hw=iphone

In this example a User Reiner Zufall will call phone number 123 and will use device iphone:

• The PBX Object with Long Name Reiner Zufall is used to start the call
• The Mobility Fork Destination with Device labeled iphone
