contentsup vote -2 down vote favorite
Below is my code, after searching and working all night, I
finally figured how to make it send an sms. The problem is that I
can't leave spaces in the body message and it does not display the
value of $smsmessage.
extract($_POST);
$smsmessage1 = "This is the sms that will be sent";$smsmessage =
urlencode($smsmessage1);
//set POST variables$url =
'http://www.mysmsgateway.com/bulksms/[email protected]&password=123456789&message=$smsmessage&mobile=2348035081907&sender=Boss';$fields
= array();
//url-ify the data for the POSTforeach($fields as
$key=>$value) { $fields_string .= $key.'='.$value.'&';
}rtrim($fields_string,'&');
//open connection$ch = curl_init();
//set the url, number of POST vars, POST
datacurl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url);curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST,count($fields));curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$fields_string);
//execute post$result = curl_exec($ch);
//close connection
curl_close($ch);
The above codes sends the message but will output $smsmessage
instead of fetching the value of $smsmessage from above.php

You're using single quotes for specifying $url, which means the
$smsmessage won't be interpreted.
You'll need to use double quotes instead:
$url =
"http://www.mysmsgateway.com/bulksms/[email protected]&password=123456789&message=$smsmessage&mobile=2348035081907&sender=Boss";
For more information about the difference between the two, see
PHP: Strings fromthe PHP manual.share|improve this answer

Variables placed inside single quote are not evaluated in php,
place them in dou
ble quote. like
//set POST variables$url =
"http://www.mysmsgateway.com/bulksms/[email protected]&password=123456789&message=$smsmessage&mobile=2348035081907&sender=Boss"
