[asterisk-users] Custom PHP for Call Files

[Scott Griepentrog]

I happen to have some old crufty code in PHP that generates a call file to
trigger an AGI.

Look at function callagi() in
https://github.com/stgnet/stgagi/blob/master/stgagi.php

This works in a FreePBX environment where the Asterisk process is running
as user "asterisk".  There are several other hard coded assumptions such as
paths, but the code should give you an idea how to make it work for you.

Note that Asterisk will normally delete the call file as soon as it sees it
and begins the call.  There is an exception to this where the Archive flag
in the call file instructs Asterisk to move the file to another directory
and update it with the completion status.

For full details on the call file contents, see:
