[Asterisk-Dev] Callingcard (again, sorry!)

[Terence Parker]

Hi there,

Thanks for the reply.

Regarding DeadAGI - I typed 'show application DeadAGI' but don't see 
anything different than I would get if I typed 'show application AGI' . 
Other than the mention of a different return code, I don't notice any 
difference between these two applications. Or is there really no 
difference? The warning message I get makes it sound as if I would 
actually benefit from using DeadAGI over AGI. I take it this does not 
help my call termination script though?

My other problem is that if a call is terminated in the middle of an 
AGI script (e.g. during the voice prompts) the PHP script continues. Is 
there any signal at all or anything which is sent to AGI applications 
which it could use to determine that a call has dropped? I'm not too 
sure how to use the hangup callback function to achieve this function.

Thanks,

Terence
