Ya guys know of a particular software for PHP?

[Tea_J]

Hello everyone,

I'm looking around for a little piece of software that would allow my PHP scripts to interface with a mobile phone attached to my pc via a data cable.

What I simply want to do is, have my php script send variables to that piece of software and that software makes my mobile phone send an SMS messaage..

and lastly, when someone sends a message to that phone, the software sends variables to my php script.

Summary:

1) Send SMS

-Php sends $mobile_number and $message variables to software

-software sends sms via mobile phone attached to COM1 of my PC

2) Receive SMS
-Phone receives an SMS message
-software automatically sends the message and the sender's number to a php script.


that simple.. do you guys know of a software that can do this? The closest to my hunt was VisualGSM . but it's expensive, and huge. All i want is that little software that can interface with my mobile phonne

your suggestions are very much appreciated!

Try searching these forums; using SMS has come up more than once before, and it comes down to what your telecommunications service provider offers.

Hi Weedpacket

It's always been my habit to do deep searches before asking a question.

This time it's either I've missed a the answer to this, or it's just not in our forums.

A lot of threads are about SMS using gateways and stuff.. I dont need a gateway..


I want to use my mobilephone to send SMS messages, there for I dont need a gate way..

The problem is, PHP alone cant talk to my mobile phone even if it's attached to my PC.. i think i need some kind of an activeX application or something.

ANyways, all i really want is to send variables from PHP to that software to send sms, and receive variables from that software to PHP .... simple as that..

anything out there?

Do a search for "SMS" on these forums. That comes out with 98 topics for you to read. Chances are, if it's not there, no one on these forums can help you.

Okay, so you plug your phone into your PC and use the phone to send the SMS message. Seems a bit long-winded (and potentially expensive) seeing as the computer should be capable of sending the message directly. I for one don't have any ideas beyond doing some more searching (for one thing, I don't even know what make or model phone you're using - nor, to be honest, do I care).
