If I need to build IVR using Asterisk (so I will read and write to database), until now from my reading, I can understand that the best way is to use AGI to call external script like php which will manipulate every thing, correct?<br>

I have a strong aversion to cobbling up database access in dialplan. It's just ugly. An AGI is so much cleaner and flexible.<br>
<br>
My personal preference is C, but that's my sharpest tool and being a compiled language is faster than scripting languages like PHP.<br>
<br>
If PHP is your 'sharpest tool,' go with it. Unless you're cranking through a boat load of calls or working within tight hardware constraints you should be fine.<div class="im"><br>

Well, the returned values from this script that I can use it to route the call to the proper queue or Phone, how I can handle these returned values? Do I have to store it in the database? Well, how I will read it from database and use it in the extensions.conf?<br>

You can set channel variables within your AGI. I wrote a 'third party verification' system a couple of years ago. One of the AGIs ('lookup-dnis') looks up the dialed number (DNIS) in the database and sets a couple hundred channel variables in the blink of an eye. The channel variables then control the flow of the script - what kind of questions are asked and what to do with the responses.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
