A:
The easiest way to do this is by sending an e-mail to the mobile provider's SMS e-mail gateway. This will change with every provider, so you will have to ask your users what their provider is.
Here is a list of all providers and their corresponding SMS email addresses: http://sms411.net/how-to-send-email-to-a-phone/
Afterward, you would just send a mail through PHP accordingly:
// Let us assume for this example that we are on AT&T
$to = "[email protected]"; // Ten digit phone number
$subject = "You've got a new message in your mailbox!";
$body = "A new message has been sent to you on MyWebsite. Please check it out!";
$from = "MyWebsite <[email protected]>";
Mail($to, $subject, $body, "From: $from");
And that should do it.
There are more complicated ways to send SMS messages via an API instead of e-mail, but almost all of these are pay-for services. You can search Google for SMS gateway providers for more information.

Here in Europe, this method usually has to be manually activated by the recipient, and receiving a message this way often costs them as much as sending one from their own phone. Not sure in which situations this will work.

It really depends on what kind of gateway you have an account with. I suggest you ask another question with all the information, including the service you are using, so that we can help you out better.
