Does anyone want to send text messages from PHP? [closed]
I made a PHP class that dramatically simplifies sending text messages with PHP. I know this isn't really a "help me out!" type question per se, but I would like to share the code because I have found it to be tremendously useful. You're free to do whatever you'd like with the code . You can even go around telling people you made it. Just don't accuse me if anything goes wrong.
Without further ado:
<?php
// Carrier email suffixes
define('ATT', 'txt.att.net');
define('SPRINT', 'messaging.sprintpcs.com');
define('TMOBILE', 开发者_Python百科 'tmomail.net');
define('US_CELLULAR', 'email.uscc.net');
define('VERIZON', 'vtext.com');
define('VIRGIN_MOBILE', 'vmobl.com');
// Message parameters
define('MAX_SMS_LENGTH', 140);
define('DEFAULT_CELL_SENDER', 'sender@example.com');
class Cell
{
public static function send($pNumber, $pCarrier, $pMessage)
{
// Keep a notifier of whether the message was sent or not
$Success = true;
// Define the recipient address
$Recipient = $pNumber . '@' . $pCarrier;
// Find out how many message will have to be sent
$MessageCount = ceil(strlen($pMessage) / MAX_SMS_LENGTH);
for ($i = 0; $i < $MessageCount; $i++)
{
// Calculate the subset of the entire message that can be sent at once
$StartIndex = $i * MAX_SMS_LENGTH;
$Message = stripslashes(substr($pMessage, $StartIndex, MAX_SMS_LENGTH));
// Display page numbers on messages that span multiple iterations
if ($MessageCount > 1)
{
$Message .= ' (' . ($i + 1) . '/' . $MessageCount . ')';
}
// Send the message
$Success &= mail($Recipient, null, $Message, 'From: ' . DEFAULT_CELL_SENDER);
}
return $Success;
}
}
?>
It automatically handles paging across multiple text messages. Also, I know text messages are generally restricted to 160 characters, not 140. I reduced the limit by 20 characters to leave room for the email address.
I hope this helps someone out there. Cheers!
So if your question is, where to share this code, I would prefer Github, or Google Code. Good luck ;)
Well, to address your comment on your question, there are four major "flaws" that I can see:
- Doesn't allow to send Unicode SMS.
- Doesn't support sending concatenated SMS, it's really ugly to see (n/m).
- When
(n/m)
is added you're not calculating the message length correctly. - You could do a lot better with a
foreach (str_split($sms, 140) as $sms_part)
.
The main problem I see with this is that it only works on US carriers. If you really want to send SMS's via code, maybe you should use something like Twilio
