Twilio handling calls - twilio

Question

I am trying to achive is whenever I receive an text message with certain keywords, I will get a call saying that I have received a text message and press 1 to talk to the person who sent the text message.
I have done it by creating three files, these are below
Twilio.php
This receives the post request on a text message and call me
$name = $_POST['name'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$client = new Services_Twilio($AccountSid, $AuthToken);
try {
// make call
$call = $client->account->calls->create(
$caller,
$number,
array("url" => "http://somewebsite.net/twilio/twiml.php?phone=$phone&name=$name")
);
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo 'Error starting phone call: ' . $e->getMessage();
}
The next file if twiml.php which handle the call and ask me if I want to speak and press 1 to speak
twiml.php
$nm = $_GET['name'];
$ph = $_GET['phone'];
$name = "Deepak";
header("content-type: text/xml");
echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n";
?>
<Response>
<Say>Hello <?php echo $name ?>.</Say>
<Gather numDigits="1" action="http://somewebsite.net/twilio/call.php?phone=<?php echo $ph ?>" method="POST">
<Say>You have a text message, press 1 to speak.</Say>
</Gather>
</Response>
The third file is called if I press 1 to speak and then it dials that number : below is the code:
Call.php
<?php
if($_REQUEST['Digits'] != '1') {
header("Location: twiml.php");
die;
}
$ph = $_GET['phone'];
header("content-type: text/xml");
echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n";
?>
<Response>
<Dial>+1 <?php echo $ph ?></Dial>
</Response>
I am trying to achieve is to merge these three files into one so I need not to make a Post request and I could handle the whole call in a single file or at least I can merge twiml.php and call.php
Is there a way to combine these?

You could put it all into one file and use the URI that was requested ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) to switch on the code you then run. Or, it might be more interesting to try a small PHP framework that abstracts that away. Something like Slim or Silex might work for you.
I would ask why you need to run this from one file when your feature looks like it works?
