You could use the Asterisk Manager interface and the action Monitor to start record a call from a web application.

Thanks for the reply Marco Bruni .
I have another doubt when i give an extension number and press record will i be able to record the calls even though it is not active . for example if i start pressing record button after giving the extension and turn it off after 6 months or so will be able to do that functionality is it possible any ideas???

For this don’t use the manager interface, you can do this way: from the web interface save in a database record if the call for an extension should be recorded or not, then in the Asterisk dialplan read the database record for the extension and set a channel variable with the record value, then check the channel variable and if the call should be recorded execute the MixMonitor application before dial the extension, if the call should not be recorded just dial the extension.
