asterisk users - Nov 2009 - PHP AGI : handle Event /AGI session

Hi all,

I need some advice to know how to handle event in a PHP agi. do you have an
exemple of how to it ?

more over I need some advices. currently I have the following SW
architecture

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).

my concerns is that scipt 2 need same parameters, and mySQL connexions that
I script 1

so at the end of the script 1 the mySQL connection is closed and I need to
pass many parameters to script 2 through asterisk

so my idea is to use AGI commands in script 1, and then not use the
extension on the asterisk server. but I have one question if the call
duration is hours then the connection to Astmanager will closed ? what's the
timeout value for Astmanager ?

the other solution is to use AGI session but I don't know how it works, and
I don't don't know if my mySQL connection will still being up

Do you have an other solution to keep mySQL connection UP and not passing
several through asterisk ?

Thanks a lot for your help

regards

Mickael

Is script1 executed by Asterisk or Apache? If it is Apache, it is not an 
Asterisk Gateway Interface (AGI) executable.

The 2 scripts execute as 2 separate processes. They cannot share 
connections to either MySQL or AMI. You can pass the parameters through 
the database or are you contemplating setting a bunch of channel variables 
in script1 and reading them in script2?

what's

The connection to the Asterisk Manager Interface (AMI) is closed when you 
explicitly close it or when the script exits.
