asterisk phpagi dial into chanspy - asterisk

Question

I am trying to use phpagi with asterisk to send into chanspy but looks like it's not working. Please help if you can, thank you in advance:
Here's what I got so far:
if($keys=="8888") {
$agi->exec("DIAL","Chanspy(SIP/,q)");
}

You do not "Dial()" to "Chanspy". Chanspy is it's own application and handles the call bridging itself. You have to set a "group" to spy on, or address a specific channel.
Here's a simple way to it with security on the Barge/Spy:
[macro-jkl5_barge_code]
; ${ARG1} - Extension that is monitoring
exten =>s,1, NoOp(Extension Barge & Whisper)
same => n, Answer()
same => n, NoCDR
same => n, Authenticate(12345)
same => n, Wait(1)
same => n, NoOp(** DEBUG: [${SPYGROUP}] )
same => n, ChanSpy(SIP/${ARG1}|qg(${SPYGROUP}))
same => n, Hangup()
... be sure to set "SPYGROUP" somewhere in your call path. Then just call this macro where ever you need it from.
You'll have to do your own reading on how to use it from inside an AGI. The above code is just to give you a sense of how it's used within a dialplan.
