Discussion: Asterisk Dialplan Globals

In version 1.2.10 it is possible to access global variables using the AGI. My problem was unrelated to this. Thanks for everyones help.

I haven't tried that $__GLOBAL_foo thing yet, but it's an interesting idea. I think those underscores are more for setting variables that are inherited by the following contexts, as opposed to actual global variables that are really constants and defined at in the |globals| section of the dialplan. They are really two different things.

I have asked this question on the asterisk-users mailing list and it appears to be a bug. I submitted a ticket and a developer there quickly provided a patch. The bug and patch are here: http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=7609

I haven't tested it myself, but have you tried to access the Global variable with 2 underlines charaters prefixed to the variable name? I.E. $GLOBAL_foo as $__GLOBAL_foo.

See ya...

d.c.

Does anyone know how to handle referencing global variables from the AGI? Is this possible?

What if I want to include another context in the [global] context?

For Instance, based on a global, I want to include one set of global vars, or another.

include => foo
just sets the variable ${include} to "foo".
