Hello

I've read in the documentation that we should use the CLI
version of PHP when using it to write scripts called by AGI, because
the prepended HTML bits would confuse Asterisk when it got a reply
from the script through STDIN.

And still, the following works OK, although the CLI version available
in AstLinux prepends some HTML:

===================
pbx tmp # cat /tmp/test.php
#/tmp/php-cli -q
<?php
echo "SET CALLERID \"Derf <123>\"\n";
?>

pbx tmp # ./test.php
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.5
Content-type: text/html

pbx tmp # /tmp/php-cli -q test.php
SET CALLERID "Derf <123>"
======== /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf ====

number=${CALLERID(num)})
exten => 9999,n,AGI(/tmp/test.php)
exten => 9999,n,Verbose(Name=${CALLERID(name)}
number=${CALLERID(num)})

=> How come Asterisk accepts the reply from the PHP script, even
though it's a mix of HTML and a valid AGI command ("SET CALLERID")?

Thank you.
