[PHP] php SMS (or phone contact)
Hi, i want to make a script, that monitors my server and if its down, sends an SMS, pager message, or rings the phone (lol) to contact me. Is it possible to send a message to a pager or an SMS to a handy with php? Or are there any scripts already out there? I tried to take a look around, but most scripts i found relied on services, which don't exist anymore, of who changed their service, so that its not possible to use from the outside. Regards, Hendrik

Your service provider (pager or mobile) must provide a gateway. Do they? If not, you can't expect PHP (versatile as it may be) to magically interface to their network :) -- Jason Wong - Gremlins Associates - www.gremlins.com.hk Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design Hosting * Internet Intranet Applications Development * /* The bug stops here. */ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

don't reinvent the wheel. (Unless you jsut REALLY want to) Try www.nagios.org It has support for SMS. (Be prepared to spend about 3-4 hours setting it up) =C= * * Cal Evans * Journeyman Programmer * Techno-Mage * http://www.calevans.com * -Original Message- From: Duncan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 01, 2002 9:47 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] php SMS (or phone contact) Hi, i want to make a script, that monitors my server and if its down, sends an SMS, pager message, or rings the phone (lol) to contact me.

Hi again, thx for the replies. Well, nagios ... quite a story ... anyway, i spent more than 3-4 hours and still didn't get it to work. Maybe i should look into it again, if it supports that kind of stuff, which really would be just what i need :) Thanks a lot, Duncan

Most cellular and paging companies provide your phone/pager with an email address. usually [EMAIL PROTECTED] check out this list of providers and their addressing: http://www.weblinkwireless.com/customerservice/how2send/index.html so just use mail() and it looks pretty sweet when your website sends msg to your phone olinux --- Duncan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi again, thx for the replies.
