[Asterisk-Users] Blocking the 'Do Not Call" List

[Chris Shaw]

I'm a big fan of PHP for this kind of stuff myself, it's really easy to get
something like this going, probably would take you like a half an hour to
get a working program that simply checks against a MySQL database...

Perl works good too, I just like PHP because of all the built-in MySQL
coolness...
