[Freeswitch-users] Complex IVRs using data from MySQL

[Brian Foster]

Whether or not you hand it back to mod_ivr or not, to set a channel
variable in Lua:

session:setVariable("varname", "varvalue");

This has the same effect as using the set application in the dialplan:

<action application="set" data="varname=varvalue"/>

You can read the variable in Lua like this:

varname = session:getVariable("varname");
