How critical is the path the message takes?

I ask because the majority of cell providers now offer email gateways to sms. So, you can use mail() or Swiftmailer, or phpmailer to send an email to their sms address. An example would be 18005551212@cingularme.com (for a lucky iPhone user). :)

But a google search for SMS PHP gateway brings a number of good results that might be useful libraries for doing direct sms via php.

In the next few weeks I will likely be looking into a true sms via php opensource solution, so if I find a great library, I'll report back. Please do the same. :)

Well.. the question has been talked about several times here.. and I would imagine there's other talks of it elsewhere. So, what have you found so far that you're confused on?

Well that's not exactly something that most developers do everyday. That's really something you'd need to search online for.

I found something called PHP SMS SDK. I haven't read anything about it at all, but it sounds promising. I also found something about sending SMS through HTTP.
