-= Info about application 'Eval' =- [Synopsis]: Eval(newvar=somestring) [Description]: Eval(newvar=somestring) Normally Asterisk evaluates variables inline. But what if you want to store variable offsets in a database, to be evaluated later? Eval is the answer, by allowing a string to be evaluated twice in the dialplan, the first time as part of the normal dialplan, and the second using Eval.
