asterisk users - Jan 2007 - Proper use of the Local channel

Is there any documentation you guys can point us to in order to learn more about
the proper use of the Local channel? We don't currently use it. However,
while evaluating other people's billing and management systems for Asterisk,
we noticed they make extensive use of it.

Thanks,
Daniel

Did you read localchannel.txt in the asterisk docs directory in the 
source tree?

No, I haven't. I'll start there.

Thanks

Need to figure out how to grab the passed variable in my php AGI script

I pass it in via the Dialplan like this:

exten => 420,1,Answer
exten => 420,n,DigitTimeout(5)
exten => 420,n,ResponseTimeout(10)
exten => 420,n,Flite("enter the one digit code")
exten => 420,n,Read(CODE,beep,1)
exten => 420,n,AGI(yy.php|${CODE})

Inside of yy.php how would I reference ${CODE} to expose it??  It
doesn't seem to come in with the standard variables that asterisk passes
to the AGI, at least the debugging loop that I have writing to log file
doesn't expose it as part of the std variables
