PHP intergration with SMS messages ? :S

Post by scorpio90 »

hey guys,

i know this may sound a bit stupid but ...

is there any code that would send a txt message to your mobile/cell phone ?

for example ...

if say i was selling my house on a auction and i wanted to receive updates of when my house has sold or has any change in its status .. is there a code that you can use that would send a standered message to a mobile phone.

i am not sure but i think facebook uses this whenyou have a private message does anyone know if it is done with PHP or Java or even some kind of scripting ?

or am i just being totally stupid :oops: and getting carried away ? ... .

any help would be great :D ... thanks in advance :D

You need to use an SMS gateway, such as clickatell. You send them the message via a normal HTTP request and they send it to the number you provide.
