从PHP应用拨号调制解调器？

Question

I have been working with the task of converting an MS Access database to a web application. All is going well but one issue, sending a customer number to an internal modem. Haven't found an easy way to do this. Anyone have any working solutions or ideas with examples? Thank you.

Answer 1

Your main problem is - how to run some commands on your client machine from your web application. This is pretty much impossible due to security reasons. You need some client program (or browser extension) on user machines.

If all you need is option to dial a number, then you can register new protocol handler in your browser for some links. For example, if you have Skype installed, it can handle links:

<a href="callto://+***********">Link will initiate Skype to call my number</a>
<a href="skype:********?call">Link will initiate Skype to call my Skype username!</a>

Of course i assume, that you have some command-line tool for dialing number.

The drawback of protocol-type solution is that you do not have any feedback from running the command.

The other solution would be to write some dedicated browser extension.
