Figuring out $fromval is probably something to do with your system.
Which SIP phone relates to which "user" of the web interface.

(On our office I have a such simple utility that maps IP address of the
caller to a channel. Works nicely on a small LAN with static IPs)

Likewise figuring out the number to dial.

The context, however, mostly depends on your specific dialplan.

So this is fairly simple on its own. Integrating it with your system to
actually do the right thing is the tricky bit.
