[*] Asterisk, PHP, AGI, XML and WTF

[Justin Davidow]

Here's an alpha implementation:


Drop this in your agi-bin (likely at /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin )

http://pastebin.com/RjgN8MHg


and put this in your dialplan (likely extensions.conf,  or
exensions_additional.conf under "from-internal-custom") somewhere:

(you MAY want to put this in a [section],  and include=> section in your
existing contexts)

exten => 6543,1,Answer

exten => 6543,n,AGI(lotto.php)

exten => 6543,n,Noop(${ScriptResult})

exten => 6543,n,Hangup

When asterisk receives a call to that extension,  it will run the script,
 which gets the XML results (only reads the first one), and sends
"playnumber(number)"  to asterisk.

(unfortunately,  asterisk treats numbers over 10 funny,  and you'll want to
come up with something..  the number 35 is spoken "thirty, [pause] five"
 which LOGICALLY works,  as the numbers should ALWAYS be in ascending
order.)

you could do something like,  take input from the user to select the date,
 maybe even have it LIST the dates from the XML.  whatever you like!
