Hi Reza, Most PBX systems log with a feature called Call Detail Recording (or Records), CDR for short. How to get at them depends on the system, but generally there is a card in the PBX with a serial output that spits out the CDR records. Attached to this is often a buffer box that a PC dials into periodically to fetch records, or it could be tied into the hotel management system directly for real time reporting. It might also be done on the management interface by issuing a command to dump the CDR records and flush the logs.
If this is the case, you'll probably attach the CDR port to the PC directly, and write a daemon that logs the CDR records (flat file, probably .CSV) into your database. Cake, or whatever other apps you use, will read the data from your SQL database.
