[asterisk-dev] Community help needed! Manager interface audit

[Chris Maciejewski]

Hi Kevin,

I just wrote a simple PHP script - http://pastebin.com/f2bd1afd -
which produces an AMI header => value
summary - http://pastebin.com/f7567f5a9 and detailed report -
http://pastebin.com/f37a8523b
Hope it might be useful.

To run ami-report.php you will need to edit line 3 (and possible line
1) of this file.

Regards,
Chris

> 2) When events use different header names for the same sort of data
> (again, for example, channel names).
