You could do this using something along the lines of CURL or Snoopy (I recommend Snoopy as it doesn't require anything to be installed on your web server):
http://snoopy.sourceforge.net/ You would have to figure out how the authentication scheme for your chosen web-based SMS service works (most of them use cookies). The main disadvantage is that it's a bit of a dirty hack and it would stop working if the free web service went down or changed the way its authentication / SMS form worked. Free services also tend to limit you to a certain number of messages a day. The professional alternative is to invest in some kind of web to SMS gateway, but I think that's quite an expensive option. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
