Yes, thanks again for the suggestions. I wrote a few scripts for
different things that we needed in the office and by the time I got to
that one, I was tired and wasn't thinking straight anymore. I am
probably going to just set a dummy variable for now and have asterisk
update the global. Down the road we plan on adding a database for call
logging, configurations, etc, and I would agree with you Jay, storing
the variable there would be the better choice.
Thanks again.

Hi everyone,
I know that functions like set_variable and get_variable (using php
with phpagi) only apply to the channel variable. What I need to do is
reset a global variable I have in our system. I have a script that is
going to determine when this will happen, but I just have to make it
happen. Assuming that I cannot update the variable via the script, it
is there a way I can make a call to the system, such as a call file,
and place it in the context of the dialplan that I need to change the
variable? If so, is there anything special I need in the call file
for that to work? Or is there a easier/better way to do this that I
haven't thought of.
Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks,
Kevin
As Timebandit pointed out --

or SetGlobalVar in 1.0.x
If most of the interaction with that variable occurs through agi, you
might also want to consider storing it outside of Asterisk. I've
stored a good number of values in mysql for an asterisk application
before. If most of the interaction occurs within the dialplan and/or
you're trying to avoid agi, you could also use the asterisk database
directly with DBPut and DBGet.
