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); -- Greg Thoen
