There is the EAGI protocol that will allow this but the easiest way I find to do this sort of thing is to have a shared file system between the app / web server and the asterisk server(s). We run a clustered setup with 12 asterisk systems and a clustered jboss environment with a NFS mount shared between all the systems. For applications such as call recording asterisk does the monitor into the NSF mounted share / directory which is also visible on the jboss servers (mainly for permission checks / security etc) and the web server (for download etc). As long as you have a scheme that ensures you do not have duplicate file names (which can be controlled by a central database and via your php script) then you will not have any issues. There are a number of other file system alternatives out there that will achieve the same thing but NFS seems to be proven and stable and we have not any issues with it to date. Your php script can then be a simple AGI / FastAGI that simply executes a Playback(path/to/nfs/directory/file) - you can also incorporate things like checking if the file exists in your PHP script and implementing access restrictions etc. We also share our sounds directory between systems this way so that all our sounds only have to reside in one place but are visible across all the systems.
