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. – Shatterproof

Answer 1

Check out Tropo, they have PHP support.

can i connect it through my database?? – Olive

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). – Cottonwood

is there any example for using Tropo WebAPI in PHP?? – Olive

Somewhere on the site probably, I don't use PHP. – Cottonwood

Answer 2

ribbit offers an API for making calls, playing files, etc (php link)

i have not used ribbit...i have used tropo, which i found little bit easy... thank u @Dan Heberden.. – Olive

Answer 3

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).

thank u @diciu...i have not used asterisk... i am using tropo..as it is bit easy for me to understand....hence i selected the above answer.... – Olive

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? – Anglim
