Evaluates the contents of a dialplan extension and returns it as a string.

<description>
<para>The EVAL_EXTEN function looks up a dialplan entry by context,extension,priority,
evaluates the contents of a Return statement to resolve any variable or function
references, and returns the result as a string.</para>
<para>You can use this function to create simple user-defined lookup tables or
user-defined functions.</para>
<example title="Custom dialplan functions">
[call-types]
exten => _1NNN,1,Return(internal)
exten => _NXXNXXXXXX,1,Return(external)
[udf]
exten => calleridlen,1,Return(${LEN(${CALLERID(num)})})
[default]
exten => _X!,1,Verbose(Call type ${EVAL_EXTEN(call-types,${EXTEN},1)} - ${EVAL_EXTEN(udf,calleridlen,1)})
</example>
<para>Any variables in the evaluated data will be resolved in the context of
that extension. For example, <literal>${EXTEN}</literal> would refer to the
EVAL_EXTEN extension, not the extension in the context invoking the function.
This behavior is similar to other applications, e.g. <literal>Gosub</literal>.</para>
<example title="Choosing which prompt to use">
same => n,Read(input,${EVAL_EXTEN(prompts,${CALLERID(num)},1)})
[prompts]
exten => _X!,1,Return(default)
exten => _20X,1,Return(welcome)
exten => _2XX,1,Return(${DB(promptsettings/${EXTEN})})
exten => _3XX,1,Return(${ODBC_MYFUNC(${EXTEN})})
</example>
<para>Extensions on which EVAL_EXTEN is invoked are not different from other
extensions. However, the application at that extension is not executed.
Only the application data is parsed and evaluated.</para>
<para>A limitation of this function is that the application at the specified
extension isn't actually executed, and thus unlike a Gosub, you can't pass
arguments in the EVAL_EXTEN function.</para>
<para>If you need the ability to evaluate more complex logic that cannot be done
purely using functions, see <literal>EVAL_SUB</literal>.</para>

Executes a Gosub and provides its return value as a string

<description>
<para>The EVAL_SUB function executes up a dialplan location by context,extension,priority, with optional arguments
and returns the contents of the Return statement. The arguments to <literal>EVAL_SUB</literal>
are exactly like they are with <literal>Gosub</literal>.</para>
<para>This function is complementary to <literal>EVAL_EXTEN</literal>. However, it is more powerful,
since it allows executing arbitrary dialplan and capturing some outcome as a dialplan function's
return value, allowing it to be used in a variety of scenarios that do not allow executing dialplan
directly but allow variables and functions to be used, and where using <literal>EVAL_EXTEN</literal>
would be difficult or impossible.</para>
<para>Consequently, this function also allows you to implement your own arbitrary functions
in dialplan, which can then be wrapped using the Asterisk function interface using <literal>EVAL_SUB</literal>.</para>
<para>While this function is primarily intended to be used for executing Gosub routines that are quick
and do not interact with the channel, it is safe to execute arbitrary, even blocking, dialplan in the
called subroutine. That said, this kind of usage is not recommended.</para>
<para>This function will always return, even if the channel is hung up.</para>
<example title="Record whether a PSTN call is local">
[islocal]
exten => _X!,1,ExecIf($[${LEN(${EXTEN})}&lt;10]?Return(1))
same => n,Set(LOCAL(npanxx)=${EXTEN:-10:6})
same => n,ReturnIf(${EXISTS(${DB(localcall/${npanxx})})}?${DB(localcall/${npanxx})})
same => n,Set(LOCAL(islocal)=${SHELL(curl "https://example.com/islocal?npanxx=${EXTEN:-10:6}")})
same => n,Set(LOCAL(islocal)=${FILTER(A-Z,${islocal})})
same => n,Set(DB(localcall/${npanxx})=${islocal})
same => n,Return(${islocal})
[outgoing]
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,1,Set(CDR(toll)=${IF($["${EVAL_SUB(islocal,${EXTEN},1)}"="Y"]?0:1)})
same => n,Dial(DAHDI/1/${EXTEN})
same => n,Hangup()
</example>
<para>This example illustrates an example of logic that would be difficult to capture
in a way that a single call to <literal>EVAL_EXTEN</literal> would return the same result. For one, conditionals
are involved, and due to the way Asterisk parses dialplan, all functions in an application call are evaluated all the
time, which may be undesirable if they cause side effects (e.g. making a cURL request) that should only happen in certain circumstances.</para>
<para>The above example, of course, does not require the use of this function, as it could have been invoked
using the Gosub application directly. However, if constrained to just using variables or functions,
<literal>EVAL_SUB</literal> would be required.</para>
