[asterisk-dev] chan_sip.c: how to get phone source and destination

[Fadil Sutomo]

Hi Kevin,

In app_dial.c, yes I can easily access the "database_location" by invoking
pbx_builtin_getvar_helper(chan, "database_location"), however I still run to
another problem.

I notice that pbx_builtin_getvar_helper only works for the "calling"
(source) party NOT for the "called" (destination).

Say, I have this in sip.conf

[Xlite1]
...
setvar=database_location=/home/fadil/MySQL
...

[GrandStream]
...
setvar=database_location=/opt/some_database
...


If I call from Xlite1 to Grandstream (source = Xlite1 and
destination=Grandstream), then we know in app_dial.c, the source channel is
"in" and the destination channel is "c" in function "wait_for_answer".

Then, pbx_builtin_getvar_helper(in, "database_location") returns
"/home/fadil/MySQL" BUT pbx_builtin_getvar_helper(c, "database_location")
returns (null).

Could you (or anyone reading this post) please tell me why this is happening
and how to solve it..

Thank You
Fadil
