Setting a time limit to a twilio call

Question

I am using the twiml below to create and send a call to my users. However I want to set a time limit to this call. I know it is possible when you use the verb, as shown here. But I don' know how to do it in my situation

try {
    $to = '+' . $phone;         
    $client->account->calls->create(
        "+17********", 
        $to, 
        $url,
        array( 
            'Method' => "GET", 
            'FallbackMethod' => "GET", 
            'StatusCallbackMethod' => "GET", 
            'Record' => "false", 
        )
    );
} catch (Exception $e) {
    // log error
}

this won't work because I am using the rest API, and not the parameter – gazubi Jun 18 '15 at 02:56

Have a look here on how to modify an active call: https://www.twilio.com/docs/api/rest/change-call-state

You are going to need to store the call resource and the time it started. At the appropriate time you will have to make a post to the resource and set it to completed. This will end the call.

thanks for that. does twilio have an inbuilt command to check when the call started, or do i have to use the PHP command – gazubi Jun 18 '15 at 03:00
