Re: [asterisk-users] PHP AGI : handle Event /AGI session
thanks a lot steve for your answer the script is launch by a web page so it's a AGI executable if it was your case which implementation will you choose ? regards Mickael 2009/11/20 Steve Edwards asterisk@sedwards.com On Fri, 20 Nov 2009, mickael ropars wrote: someone send a URL to call someone a PHP script (script 1) is launch and in its I configure Astmanager in order to make an originating call then my script stop running and Asterisk continue processing the call in an extension when hangup occurs I execute another AGI script (script 2).
