[Asterisk-Users] Re: Asterisk at large

[Cosmin Prund]

I'm no Asterisk genie but if you're running on one server you're probably
not dealing with lots of users (for what I'm trying to say 100 users are not
a lot of users). Factoring in the VERY simple format of both sip.conf and
extensions.conf, isn't it possible to create an php "page" that would
generate those two files from the database? You'll next need to run a basic
script that would call the php's + asterisk -rx "reload" and you'd be done!

If you're trying to skip the reload step (ie: make the changes available
immediately / transparently) I don't think it can be done, and this has
nothing to do with Asterisk and a lot more to do with databases. Asterisk is
something outside the database, using the database as nothing more but a
source for data. Asterisk will not know the data in the database has
changed, it needs to be told!

On the other hand I am a newbie to Asterisk and I don't really like/know
mySql so I might be very wrong and far from the truth.
