seperating parts of the fread output with php for Asterisk AMI

Question

I have a question that has kept me busy for the last days. I am working with the Asterisk AMI.

The AMI gives output like this.

I collect the output with the fread() function.

fread($fp, 8192);

[$fp is the output like here above]

This works but gives the output line by line. The correct way to get this would be from a white space line till white space line.

This way I could collect the information that is needed and do the following steps.

Is this possible with the fread function?

I need to read information like who picked up the phone or hangeup.

Your input would be as always highly appreciated

Answer 1

No, not possible.

You should read lines in loop one-by-one until get empty line and merge it in buffer if needed.

Answer 2

Have made it work by splitting the space to space into an array and checking the error logs. This worked best and gives me the opportunity to read everything out.
