[asterisk-users] Using PHP to reload extensions

[Moises Silva]

If you are running the script from a web server, the script gets
executed with the web server process permissions, hence, probably does
not have access to /var/run/asterisk.ctl.

You can give permissions to your web server, or better yet, dont
execute the command using shell_exec, better open a socket connection
to the Asterisk manager and execute Action: Command
Command: extensions reload
