Hi. Before I go to far down this path, I wonder if what I intend to do is not a good practice.

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. It prints out the XML that calls the javascript that then controls the call. For example,

$response = <<< XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>

<document type="freeswitch/xml">

  <section name="dialplan" description="example_curl_dialplan">

    <context name="public">

      <extension name="curl_test">

        <condition field="destination_number" expression="^(\+1|1?)(5844111)$">

          <action application="javascript" data="demos/stest-examp-st.js" />

        </condition>

      </extension>

    </context>

  </section>

</document>

XML;

Then I thought, that's silly to go back out to javascript to handle the actions, playing files, using pocketsphinx, etc. I should just stay in PHP, using esl.php to answer and handle the call.

Then I rethought, is that a good practice to take over the call control from freeswitch at that point, while it is in the xml-curl dialplan hunt?

Then I also thought, is it even possible to do some of the things I need to do from the php esl, like the equivalent of this javascript:

session.collectInput(onInputsml, "emptyobject", 7000);
