Yes jerry, you are right. That's exactly what I want. :)
Sorry for my confusion.

I want to pass the values of the three variables in the php script to my PBX
dial plan (Asterisk):

exten => 3014,1,Playback(wait-moment)
exten => 3014,n,Set(days=...) <----Here I need the value of $days from the
php script.
exten => 3014,n,Set(hours=..) <----Here I need the value of $hour from the
php script.
exten => 3014,n,Set(minutes=..)<---Here I need the value of $minutes from
the php script.
exten => 3014,n,System(echo "the server uptime is ${days} days and ${hours}
hours and ${minutes} minutes" | /usr/bin/text2wave -scale 1.5 -F
8000 -o /tmp/uptime.wav)
exten => 3014,n,Playback(/tmp/uptime)
exten => 3014,n,System(rm /tmp/uptime.wav)
exten => 3014,n,Playback(goodbye)
exten => 3014,n,Hangup()
>


I use something similar to get my account balance from the web:

exten => 3000,1,Answer
exten => 3000,n,Playback(astcc-account-balance-is)
exten =>
3000,n,Set(status=${CURL(http://localhost/credit/credit_dialnow.php)})
<----HERE I GET MY ACCOUNT BALANCE.
exten => 3000,n,SayDigits(${status})
exten => 3000,n,Playback(vm-goodbye)
exten => 3000,n,Hangup()
