I am not sure if i will be of good help but in order to send an SMS, you need to have an SMS gateway through which you can send the messages. I have tried using my mobile phone connected to my PC as an SMS gateway for sending messages and receiving them. There is a particular library which i found through some google search. Lost the link though. The speed will be very less if you use a mobile phone as SMS gateway (about 27 messages per minute) and i know it sucks. Then there are some API providers who integrate their SMS gateway servers with the local Mobile network providers who offer the same message for sending through a HTTP api . Try for those because creating an SMS gateway for a single web application/ hosting the same will be problematic and strenous and much more time taking than the development of the site itself.

Hope this helps.
