Setup Asterisk server for telephone validation and cleaning

Prepare a computer with PCI slot

Consider the cost and compatibility, normally I will use Dell desktop or server.

Install telephony interface cards into your computer

Telephony interface cards are PCI or PCI Express expansion cards that connect computers running Asterisk directly to legacy phone lines, phones and phone systems. The cards convert the legacy signaling and media into Asterisk’s internal formats.

I chosen Digium cards, because Asterisk is provided by Digium. A lot of cheaper alternative cards, I just don’t want to facing compatible issue.

phpWhois

Introduction

This package contains a Whois (RFC954) library for PHP. It allows a PHP program to create a Whois object, and obtain the output of a whois query with the lookup function.

The response is an array containing, at least, an element ‘rawdata’, containing the raw output from the whois request.

In addition, if the domain belongs to a registrar for which a special handler exists, the special handler will parse the output and make additional elements available in the response. The keys of these additional elements are described in the file HANDLERS.md.

It fully supports IDNA (internationalized) domains names as defined in RFC3490, RFC3491, RFC3492 and RFC3454.

It also supports ip/AS whois queries which are very useful to trace SPAM. You just only need to pass the doted quad ip address or the AS (Autonomus System) handle instead of the domain name. Limited, non-recursive support for Referral Whois (RFC 1714/2167) is also provided.

Requirements

phpWhois requires PHP 5.3 or better with OpenSSL support to work properly.

Without SSL support you will not be able to query domains which do not have a whois server but that have a https based whois.
