NEW: CallerID Superfecta Addition

[SShrivastava]

My CallerID Superfecta has been working great for the last few months, but this past week it has been returning the word "strong" on all incoming calls regardless of number.

I haven't changed anything, and AsteriDex lookups are disabled on my CallerID Superfecta. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

[kmcdaniel]

Are you talking about the bold face on either the word "Land Line" or Cell Phone" I noticed that also..not sure why this is.

I haven't looked at the code, but its definitely trying to send some htm inline formatting all of a sudden.

Could this be coming from the SOURCES that Superfecta is polling for the data?

Disable all but one of the sources and try to isolate which provider is causing the problem. Then I'll be glad to wrestle with it.

I saw the same thing recently. It looks to me like it WhitePages.com. I tried walking through the code in callerid.php and entering the number that returned that way (7147736403) and WhitePages.com does return the embedded <strong> </strong> formatting....

sorry to bring up an old thread, but just a quick note, there is a php function to strip html tags from text. it might be more efficient, and will eliminate the need to hard code the removal of the strong tag in case the tags change at somepoint.

on the whitepages.com section, you can replace the

echo $name; 

with

echo  strip_tags($name);

Still nice to learn something new every day!! Thanks. Fixed!
