[Asterisk-Users] From Database, PHP-Webinterface -> TO flatfileconfiguration

[Dustin Wildes]

Hey Arne!
My project 'PhoneCALL' http://www.vecsector.com/phonecall does pretty 
much the same thing as you are describing - stores the configs in mysql 
& then submits the changes to flat files & reloads asterisk on 
completion. For me & my clients - there hasn't been any noticeable 
difference, as we used mysql/php for CDR anyway. Also - the flat-files 
are loaded in memory once Asterisk starts, so it's not like it's 
constantly hammering the mysql database for info.

Go for it! :-)
