<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>We are running Kamailio 1.5.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I'm trying to use the forward() function with a
variable like this:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>
forward($shv(voip1-edge1));</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>That fails to parse.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I then tried this, which I thought would
fail:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>
forward("$shv(voip1-edge1)");</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>That parsed correctly, but it then failed to resolve the domain '<FONT
size=2 face=Arial>$shv(voip1-edge1)' as expected. Why can this function not use
variables?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I tried to make a workaround by doing this:</DIV>
<DIV> $du=$ru;<BR>
$dd=$shv(voip1-edge1);<BR> forward();<BR></DIV>
<DIV>That also failed. Why is $du writable but $dd is not?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I then made a fourth attempt, which seems to work:</DIV>
<DIV> $du="sip:" + $shv(voip1-edge1);<BR>
forward();<BR></DIV>
<DIV>With kind regards,</DIV>
<DIV>Pan</DIV></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
