You can't, they are completely separate processes and code.

Thanks--that's not the answer I wanted, but it sure was quick. :) Is there
anything that would enable me to use a persistent connection in the agi?

Yes.  Use func_odbc in your PHP AGI.   In Asterisk dialplan functions are
treated like dialplan variables so you can get and set them just like you
would other dialplan variables.

If it takes 5 seconds to open a PDO DB connection inside PHP you have some
OTHER problem.

Thanks, Eric. If I can't figure out why the connection takes so long, I'll
try the func_ODBC approach.
