[Asterisk-Users] asterisk intergration in third party web application

[ChaosMedia > WebDev]

lo all,

i'm quite new to asterisk, i've tested asterisk at home and decided to try 
and complete a little project.

i'd like to make some kind of web integration of asterisk with a classic 
web board like invision/SFM/phpbb and so on..
The main idea is to let members of the board have an extension created 
in asterisk when they register or get promoted to a special members group.
That way they can simply send vocal messages to other members or call 
anyone online and so on..

In order to do that i'd need to be able to update asterisk config to add 
extensions, modify passwords, account names and so on from inside the 
board code.

My favorite choice would be to modify asterisk config in a mysql 
database and i've seen that freepbx does that but i was wondering if 
modifying that very same database from the board code would work too.
I haven't checked freepbx code yet so i'm not sure if it requires some 
additional shell tools to change asterisk config from the web interface..

In fact i was expecting asterisk to have some kind of configuration that 
would enable mysql but i can't seem to find anything like that, like it 
exists with some other linux daemons (snort, postfix and so on..)
i've read that mysql support was removed from asterisk because of 
license problems but was brought back thru addons, right ?
Then could someone point me to some example where asterisk is mysql 
driven thru that addon, i've read a few amp turtorials but i'm not quite 
sure it does anything different from a regular asterisk install..

thx
