asked on

set url:tel to a website

I am using a webbrowser phone to make outgoing calls. I would like to use it when I click on a phone number link in a webpage. In the registry I have changed HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\tel\shell\open\command to "https://mywebsite.com/phone.php?number=\" %1 but this is not working. How do I set this to a URL?

Windows 7 64 SP1

Thanks

That took care of that problem. I changed HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\tel\shell\open\command to
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" "https://www.website.com/phone.php?number=%1"

But the url:tel routine replaces %1 with tel:[phone number] example: tel:9996665555 instead of just the number.
I changed my php script from:
document.getElementById("tocall").value = $_GET["number"];
to:
document.getElementById("tocall").value = str_replace("tel:", "", $_GET["number"]);
but with this change, nothing gets entered into the "tocall" field. I checked the code with a php debugger and it works fine. I don't know what the problem is. Perhaps another set of eyes might help.
