A note to all those who are avoiding writing up an AGI becasue it looks 
two complicated..

I have just written up my first and its awesome.. It makes Asterisk open 
to all sorts of possibilities.. let your imagination run wild..

I put off writing an AGI script because a) I could not find any docs b) 
it looked like the only way to do it was perl and I know nothing about 
perl and c) I am not a coder, more a simple sysadmin..

Eventually I decided to give it a try, and seeing as the language I know 
the best is PHP I decided to do my script in PHP.. The truth of the 
matter is that once you have worked out how to get your variables from 
Asterisk into a usable array or whatever you are happy using the rest is 
a piece of cake..

It goes without saying that what I have done is stupidly simple but for 
a non coder its still a giant achivement..

So all I can say is thanks to the Mark and the team for dreaming up 
AGI... To those who are putting off giving it a go, don't!!.. Dive in 
and give it a try..

PS. I won't be much help to anyone on AGI related questions, the list is 
still you best bet, this was just to hopefully inspire others to give it 
a try..
