A note to all those who are avoiding writing up an AGI becasue it looks
two complicated..
I have just written up my first and its awesome.. It makes Asterisk open
to all sorts of possibilities.. let your imagination run wild..
I put off writing an AGI script because a) I could not find any docs b)
it looked like the only way to do it was perl and I know nothing about
perl and c) I am not a coder, more a simple sysadmin..
Eventually I decided to give it a try, and seeing as the language I know
the best is PHP I decided to do my script in PHP.. The truth of the
matter is that once you have worked out how to get your variables from
Asterisk into a usable array or whatever you are happy using the rest is
a piece of cake..
It goes without saying that what I have done is stupidly simple but for
a non coder its still a giant achivement..
So all I can say is thanks to the Mark and the team for dreaming up
AGI... To those who are putting off giving it a go, don't!!.. Dive in
and give it a try..
PS. I won't be much help to anyone on AGI related questions, the list is
still you best bet, this was just to hopefully inspire others to give it
a try..
