[asterisk-users] accessing dialplan global variables in agi

[Steve Edwards]

Works fine for me with 1.2.10...

In fact, I've just started using environment variables set when Asterisk 
is started, setting global variables and using them in my AGI's (written 
in c).

Here's a snippet from my /etc/init.d/asterisk:

         source /etc/asterisk/environment.sh
         nice --adjustment=-20\
                 env --ignore-environment\
                         DATABASE-DATABASE=$DATABASE_DATABASE\
                         DATABASE-PASSWORD=$DATABASE_PASSWORD\
                         DATABASE-SERVER=$DATABASE_SERVER\
                         DATABASE-USER=$DATABASE_USER\
                         PATH=/usr/local/bin/:/bin/\
                                 $ASTERISK $START_OPTIONS

And from my extensions.conf:

         [globals]
                 DATABASE-DATABASE               = ${ENV(DATABASE-DATABASE)}
                 DATABASE-PASSWORD               = ${ENV(DATABASE-PASSWORD)}
                 DATABASE-SERVER                 = ${ENV(DATABASE-SERVER)}
                 DATABASE-USER                   = ${ENV(DATABASE-USER)}

And I have no problems reading the variables in my AGI's -- I'd know real 
quick since they couldn't access the database without them :)
