Hi there,

has someone got experience with VoIP with a php written server? Is it
possible / wise to realise a server with PHP? Are there any tutorials out
there which could help me to read more detailed infos about such a project?

Have a nice day

erm...I hate to be discouraging, but no. VOIP is all about realtime
communications, H323, and (I'm not sure but suspect that) SIP both use UDP.
Performance is critical and the input and output streams are very strongly
typed. I'm a great fan of PHP, I've written network protocol stacks using
it, and I suspect it would *possible* but I wouldn't recommend it as a
starting point for developing a VOIP server.

If you want to do IVR type applications, that's quite a different matter.
IIRC asterisk supports PHP via the TGI interface, alternatively you could
use the PHP to generate voice XML.
