sending sms using socket in php

Question

can i send sms using socket in php?i have mysmsmantra api..

Answer 1

After had took a look at API documentation link provided by maggie, to send an SMS you must do an HTTP call to a specific URL containing your credentials.

If you try to implement MySMSMantra API using socket you need to recreate (at least partially) the HTTP stack... so yes it's possible - near everything is possible ;-) - but it's a nonsense.

It's way more simpler to use the available HTTP api in PHP: http://php.net/manual/en/function.httprequest-send.php

By looking at the php documentation sample and the MySMSMantra documentation you must be able to write code that send sms from php without too much pain.
