Re: Sending SMS using PHP
Depending on the size of the system you're implementing you will need an SMS gateway.
I myself run a company that uses large amounts of SMS traffic, I use a company called ClickATell, but I am UK-based.
Your best bet is to find an Indian-based provider and sign up. My advice would be to haggle on the price as in my experience there is always leeway. Also, as with any web service, make sure you read the API documentation before signing up - you may save yourself a lot of time, money and stress by making sure it's something you can handle before signing up.
Good luck.

Hi mikemike:
Would you please guide us what API exactly we have to read before signing up? and where can we find it?
thanks
Hi seenud:
Did you solve your problem?

Re: Sending SMS using PHP
The API of whatever provider you sign up to. Sending SMS messages via PHP isn't like sending email, it's not simply a service you can install on your machine and off you go. You need access to the GSM networks around the world, so you need a carrier. In order to get to a carrier you need to go through a gateway. As I mentioned I use ClickATell as my gateway, they may operate in Saudi Arabia, they may not, you'll have to check their website. I'm sure there are other providers who do though.
Check the gateway's API documentation before signing up. It may be very difficult to implement. I found ClickATell's extremely easy and they have lots of ways to implement it.
