[Asterisk-Users] How to grab CallerId information

[Mark Johnson]

I am building a click to dial and CRM type web page and I'm having 
trouble with something.  I can make everything in the manager api work 
as documented, but I can't seem to get a grip on how to tell what the 
callerid is of an active call.  Example:  I know that on phone SIP/101 
that there is an active call that originated from the outside.  What's 
the best way to get the callerid of that call?

I have attempted to put the callerid into the database with DBPut during 
the initial call setup, but I don't really know that the call is 
active.  I can get the last busy and last unanswered callerid using 
${DIALSTATUS}, but not the last or current answered.  Anyone have any ideas?

Here's what I want to do (not using the Flash Operator Panel).  If a 
salesrep is on the phone, I want them to click a link on a webpage that 
will open up a window with all of the customer information they would 
need, based on the callerid of the active call.  I already have a really 
nice click to dial application and don't want a separate app.  I also 
don't want to monitor all of the time like the Flash Operator Panel 
does.  Anyone?

Thanks!
