Danny - Thanks, but that wouldn't work either - as I am fetching multiple rows (not in that example - but I do in a production environment).
Steve - If mySQL in the dialplan is so bad - why did Digium include it in the first place? JFYI - I use mySQL in the dialplan all the time - and it always works a treat - first time, every time. I do use AGI for 'other' things (eg. I've completely re-written the AgentCallbackLogin feature in php) and that also works a treat. Each to their own I guess. Anyway - back to the question (repeated in case it got lost amongst all this) "Is there a way to check if a specific MYSQL connection id is connected or not?". BTW - using a 'disconnect {connid}' twice doesn't actually break anything - it just causes an error on the console. So I can live with a 'no' answer.

I'm just suggesting that maybe you are 'swimming upstream' trying to use MySQL within the dialplan. Much the same as if you were proposing an office system using a 'tin cans and string' mesh with carrier pigeons for out of band call signaling and having a problem with poop buildup on the endpoints -- I might propose using Asterisk :) -- Thanks in advance, ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Steve Edwards sedwa...@sedwards.com Voice: +1-760-468-3867 PST Newline Fax: +1-760-731-3000 -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
