I am very much a PHP person. PHP doesn't really have an elegant way to handle forking / threading, which can make it non-trivial to implement and can be unreliable if the implementation is not exact. PHP must also be compiled to be thread safe in order to do this properly.
Granted, the last time I looked into this with PHP was under PHP 5.6, and tests at that time did not yield the results we wanted. We ultimately moved to Python when we needed multi-threading, which is extremely elegant and reliable for this application. [cid:[email protected]] Michael J.

I don't want the dialplan to be held up by the agi. Is there any way to call it and have Asterisk continue with the dialplan? Is there a reason you can't fork in the AGI and just return to the dialplan in the parent? Dovid, I'm not much of a PHP person, but in perl, i check the process id that's returned from fork() and exit if it's 1 (parent) and keep processing if it's the child (greater than 1). I think php uses pcntl_fork(). Is that how you're doing it?
