Re: [PHP] sending SMS messages to mobile phones from PHP
You can send an SMS via kapow easily using PHP. Here are a few examples of how you can send (via HTTP Get/Post email). assuming you have defined a couple of variables; $user = youruser; $pass = yourpass; $mob = 447971325173; $message = urlencode(This is just a test SMS message from kapow.co.uk); You can send the message via HTTP Get using the fopen() function, like this; fopen(http://www.kapow.co.uk/scripts/sendsms.php?username=$userpassword=$passmobile=$mobsms=$message,r;) That's it... your message will be on it's way (and should arrive within about 10 seconds). Alternatively you could send via email by using the mail() function; mail([EMAIL PROTECTED],$message,$user\n$pass); If you have set-up your account to automatically trust your sending address then you don't need to include the user/pass details in the email, so it'd work with just; mail([EMAIL PROTECTED],$message,); You can also make an HTTP Post. The best way to do this is by writing a quick HTTP Post function using sockets... you should be able to find an example on this mailing list. If not then I'll happily send you one.

Your SMS service looks ideal for what I need but how do I make an HTTP request from PHP to kapow? Can I just use fopen()? Please can you give a PHP example. We operate an SMS Gateway service (http://www.kapow.co.uk/) which would do exactly what you need. It's been reliably sending SMS since 1995 - and MANY of our clients use PHP. What you'd probably want to do is make an HTTP Get / Post request directly from your script to our servers, alternatively you can use our Email-to-SMS interface and then just generate an email. Using either method with PHP should get you up and running in a few minutes. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Hi Jordi, What's wrong with British Pounds? It's a good currency - been around for a long time. We have customers all over the world and can send SMS messages to over 500 networks in 200+ countries. We have MANY clients in the USA, across Europe, Australia Africa. However we are based in the UK; which means our prices are in pounds... but you can pay using most major credit cards, so it shouldn't be a big problem. There is a good currency converter at http://www.xe.com/ if you need it, or I'm sure our Sales staff will happily give you the current rates. Best regards, Andy Andrew Cowles KAPOW!

Re: [PHP] Sending SMS messages ?
Hi Dave, Yes php can, but what application will you connect to? On my old work we develop php and c programs to do it. Although the main client that connects is on C/Unix but when the people wanted to send messages we do it on php then web to c then c program to smsc server. - Louie - Original Message - From: Dave Carrera [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 12, 2003 4:06 PM Subject: [PHP] Sending SMS messages ?

Re: [PHP] Sending SMS messages ?
Hi, Goto http://kannel.org and download their sources. They have some sample PHP scripts to send sms. Obviously you will need a GSM modem or access to an SMSC to make full use of it. all the best.

Re: [PHP] sending SMS messages via PHP
Hi, This may soon depend on what Cellco you are sending from/to in the UK. They used to pass on messages between themselves for no cost but I understand that they are going to change over to charging each other per message. This may effect their own free email gateways but it certainly will effect the 'independent' ones. If you want to use an SMSC to do this rather than via an email gateway, and you don't want to set up a link to a real SMSC, you could always use a mobile phone with an 'AT' modem interface (eg, Nokia 7110, 6210) or a GSM modem (a bit more expensive but dedicated to the task) as a virtual SMSC and link the software into that to send the SMS messages for you. There are a few SMS gateways around that will do that - quite a few are free. One example is 'Kannel' - its a WAP and SMS gateway. A nice thing about that one is that you can recieve SMS messages and have them be processed via PHP scripts - to process, respond etc. ""Valter Santos"" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...

RE: [PHP] sending SMS messages via PHP
Have you tried www.deltica.com ? I haven't used them myself but am planning to in the near future - as soon as I get the site finished. You buy messages in blocks: 100 msgs 8.00 1,000 msgs 70.00 10,000 msgs 500.00 They also have a trial service where you get 4 free messages. You don't appear to be able to receive text messages.

We use www.quios.com. They accept SMS messages as XML documents which you simply post to their site using http. The response, also by http, is an xml document. It is very easy to build your outgoing xml document, and the response document is so simple in structure that you could probably get by without an xml parser to interpret it. Does it cost anything?

RE: [PHP] sending SMS messages via PHP
Errrm, no easy solution. You should either find an SMS gateway connection that can receive formatted emails, convert them and post them (at a charge to you), or go the whole hog and get yourself a connection to an SMSC via http. I would suggest you pursue the first approach as the second is only viable if you're intending to set yourself up as an SMS business. As an example, check out http://www.cygnet.co.uk/sms/ I've never used this company, but they're the first one I clicked on after searching for EMAIL SMS GATEWAY Hope this helps, Neil -Original Message- From: Michael Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 07 March 2001 17:00 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] sending SMS messages via PHP I can easily send standard email messages via PHP.
