Question

I’m using twilio to call a user and am having trouble collecting the users input. The initial call works fine, but when I press 1 or 3, nothing appears to happen, and after the 3 second pause, it keeps going.

//This works fine, I can call and hear the options being read.
<?php
  header("content-type: text/xml");
  echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n";
?>
<Response>
  <Gather action="https://mydomain.com/twilio/process_response.php" method="post" numDigits="1" timeout="3">
    <Say>I can hear this.</Say>
    <Say>Press 1.</Say>
    <Say>Press 3.</Say>
   </Gather>
<Say>It looks like you didn't select an option.</Say>
</Response>

The response – https://mydomain.com/twilio/process_response.php

<?php 
 header("content-type: text/xml");
 echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n";
?>
<Response>
<Say>I should hear this, but I dont...</Say>
</Response>

Thanks!

The issue was caused by the cordless phone I was using to test not recognising the input. Changing phones “solved” this issue.
