Thanks, I'll check them out. I am quite proficient at PHP so that
might help. I ditched PERL for PHP a few years ago., I much prefer
PHP - I haven't done any 'C' for a about 10 years.
The 'custom apps' I was particularly referring to is, on Freepbx,
where you have the option, for example, in IVR, of choosing 'Core',
'IVR' or 'Custom App'. So, if custom apps can be in PHP that will help
but it will be a steep learning curve for me to get to know how to
interface with Asterisk, files to modify etc. That is why I need the
information.
