Function
Saves the result of a DTMF input (tone dialling) with several digits in a variable $input.
First of all an (optional) prompt is played and an (optional) beep is played if this option is activated. After that, the system waits for the input of digits. When input is completed, the minimum and maximum lengths are checked. Execution of the routing application continues at the exit Continue if the input conforms to the constraining parameters. If not, execution continues at the error output.
