Before I go to far down this path, I wonder if what I intend to do is not a good practice.<div><br></div><div>I started using mod_xml_curl to use PHP on localhost to generate a dialplan dynamically, based on the Caller-Destination-Number variable that is posted.

You need some sort of dialplan no matter what, so the issue there is whether you need a dynamic one or not. If you're just going to drop calls to an extension that opens an outbound socket to your call control program then you may not need the dynamic dp generation that mod_xml_curl gives you. You'll have to decide on static vs. dynamic based on your needs. In either case, once the call is connected to your socket you've got all sorts of control options. PHP has an ESL abstraction just like the other languages so there shouldn't be any issue about PHP lacking the ability to control calls.<br> <br>I say start hacking away at it and see what happens. :) Definitely join us in #freeswitch on <a href="http://irc.freenode.net">irc.freenode.net</a> if you want to discuss this more in realtime. <br>-MC<br><br></div></div> _______________________________________________<br>FreeSWITCH-users mailing list<br><a href="mailto:FreeSWITCH-users@lists.freeswitch.org">FreeSWITCH-users@lists.freeswitch.org</a><br>http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/freeswitch-users<br>UNSUBSCRIBE:http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/options/freeswitch-users<br>http://www.freeswitch.org<br></blockquote></div><br></div></div></body></html>
