Re: [PHP] Help me!!!Can I use PHP to send SMS message???
If you had a suitable cable, phone and controlling software, You could send the SMS using the mobile phone. Not sure how you interface with external apps from PHP though.

That way you could make a simple form and use mail(); Just a thought.

(((Please e-mail the answer to me [EMAIL PROTECTED]))) One very cheeky way of doing this would be to sign up to one of the free SMS services on the web (such as lycos mobile) and set up a PHP script that can pretend to be a browser, log in to your account and post a message to the send SMS form. 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 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
