Hi Adnan, The first thing that you will need is one or more SMS service providers that can connect to the networks that you wish to connect to. (We are not an SMS service provider.) You'll need to establish an account with one or more providers. The issues involved with making this choice usually come down to cost, reliability, service, and coverage. Our software can manage connections to different SMS service providers (or GSM modems). It can simplify the process of developing 2-way interactive applications, simplify the process of formatting some different types of SMS messages. You generally would interface with our software via an HTTP interface. So you would supply a program or script that issues HTTP commands to tell our software to send out messages. -bn | ||||

Here's a simple PHP script for sending a SMS text message through the NowSMS gateway: <? function SendSMS ($host, $port, $username, $password, $phoneNoRecip, $msgText) { $fp = fsockopen($host, $port, $errno, $errstr); if (!$fp) { echo "errno: $errno \n"; echo "errstr: $errstr\n"; return $result; } fwrite($fp, "GET /?Phone=" . rawurlencode($phoneNoRecip) . "&Text=" . rawurlencode($msgText) . " HTTP/1.0\n"); if ($username != "") { $auth = $username . ":" . $password; echo "auth: $auth\n"; $auth = base64_encode($auth); echo "auth: $auth\n"; fwrite($fp, "Authorization: Basic " . $auth . "\n"); } fwrite($fp, "\n"); $res = ""; while(!feof($fp)) { $res .= fread($fp,1); } fclose($fp); return $res; } $x = SendSMS("127.0.0.1", 81, "username", "password", "+4499999999", "Test Message"); echo $x; ?> The formatting is a little funny here, so I'll also upload it as an attachment. Basically, the "SendSMS" function connects to the gateway and issues an HTTP GET command to send a message. You need to call SendSMS with the appropriate parameters (IP address and port for your NowSMS server, username and password for your NowSMS server, recipient phone number, and message text).
