Answer 1

Set a URL for the StatusCallback (docs halfway down this page), and put your charge logic in that script.

You pass the StatusCallback URL when creating the call, you should be able to pass an array of optional parameters as the 4th argument to: $client->account->calls->create().

For incoming calls, the URL is (optionally) defined for each number (or application, if you use that method).
