Send SMS messages from PHP

/Send messages from a web pages/

The Ozeki SMS Server enables you to send and receive SMS messages from PHP scripts. The SMS Server and the PHP script can be located on two different computers. This means that more than one script can send messages at the same time with only one SMS Server (Figure 1.).

To send messages from PHP you need to use the file sendsms.php. This file is included in the SMS Server software package. It provides functions to place the messages onto the SMS Servers queue for sending and to get the incoming messages. Take a look at the following example:

Sending SMS messages

<?php
include("sendsms.php");
$credits = sms_connect('192.168.0.1','9010','myAccount');
if ($credits>0) {
   sms_send('+36201234567','Hello World!');
}

sms_disconnect();
?>
