Send SMS code

Hi there,

I thought a lot of you guys might find this interesting, its an API to send SMS's from a browser etc. Just keep in mind that you have to set up an account with panaceamobile @ www.panaceamobile.com! But sending a sms with them is generally a whole lot cheaper anyway!

Enjoy the API:

PHP Code:

<?php

function send_message($username, $password, $from, $to, $message, $track_delivery = 0) {
    $url = "http://api.panaceamobile.com/sendsms?1";
    $data = array(
        "to" => $to,
        "from" => $from, 
        "dlr-mask" => $track_delivery,
        "text" => $message,
        "username" => $username,
        "password" => $password
    );
        
    foreach($data as $key => $val) {
        $data[$key] = urlencode($val);
    }



    $str = $url;
    foreach($data as $key => $val) {
        $str .= "&{$key}={$val}";
    }

    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $str);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    $res = curl_exec($ch);

    if($res !== FALSE) {
        if(
        (strpos($res, "Accepted") === FALSE) &&
        (strpos($res, "Queued") === FALSE) &&
        (strpos($res, "Sent") === FALSE)
        )
        return false;
        return true;
    }
    return false;
}

$to = "44325321234";
$from = "4432532021";


if(send_message("myusername", "mypassword", $to, $from, "Hello Messaging!", 1)) {
    echo "Message Sent!";
} else {
    echo "Message Failed!";
}


?>

Quite useful if you are implementing a solution with a client who needs SMS support! :-D

I always prefer just simply sending it using a smtp. Only downside is some phone carriers consider it as a data charge even though its a text message. Its free for you to send texts anyways
