Reverse caller lookup with asterisk and tel.search.ch
To cut the fixed telephone line, I use guest-voip.ch as SIP provider, an asterisk open source PBX installed on my QNAP NAS and some Apple devices (Iphone, IPad and MBP) as phone clients.
Asterisk allows to execute external scripts, so called AGI scripts, to add additional functionality to the PBX. In my case, I use this interface to call a bash script, which lookups the incoming call number in a local text file (cache). If it doesn’t exist in the file, it calls a php script on the local webserver which opens a connection to tel.search.ch with the number as GET parameter and retrieves the search result as answer. The php script then parses the answer, removes any html tags and returns that value to the bash script. The bash script adds the value to the local cache file and returns it back to asterisk.
Additional asterisk configuration (extensions.conf):
exten = s,1,Set(CHANNEL(language)=de)
exten = s,2,AGI(lookup.agi, ${CALLERID(num)})
exten = s,3,Set(CALLERID(name)=${LONGNAME})
Bash script (stored in /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin):
#!/bin/sh

#read agi_language
#read agi_channel
#read agi_type
#read agi_uniqueid

Php file (uses snoopy library):
<?php
$number = $_GET["tel"];
$url = "http://tel.search.ch/?tel=".$number; // + evtl. Übergabeparameter
include "Snoopy.class.php";
$snoopy = new Snoopy;
$snoopy->fetch("$url");
$GrabStart = '<h5>';
$GrabEnd = '</h5>';
$GrabData = eregi("$GrabStart(.*)$GrabEnd", $snoopy->results, $output1);
$output1[1] = str_replace("ö", "oe", $output1[1]);
$output1[1] = str_replace("Ö", "Oe", $output1[1]);
$output1[1] = str_replace("ä", "ae", $output1[1]);
$output1[1] = str_replace("Ä", "Ae", $output1[1]);
$output1[1] = str_replace("ü", "ue", $output1[1]);
$output1[1] = str_replace("Ü", "Ue", $output1[1]);
$output1[1] = str_replace(",", "", $output1[1]);
# HTML Code entfernen und Zeilenumbruch einfügen
$output1[1] =preg_replace('/(\\s+)/', ' ',$output1[1] );
$output1[1] = strip_tags($output1[1]);
$output1[1] = str_replace("ZZZ", "\n", $output1[1]);
$name= explode("\n", wordwrap($output1[1], 20));
echo $name[0];
