You need to understand the whole concept about SMS. Kannel act as a GATEWAY, that means that if provides the "glue" between a messaging application (your php/mysql solution) and a link to a messaging platform (an SMPP connection to an SMSC, a mobile device acting as SMSC, etc). You do need to understand how all this things fit into the model and what you can or can't do with it.
Start by reading the user's guide. There you'll find some basic concepts you'll need in order to achieve your goal. Try playing with it a little, browse the list's archive (you'll notice that most of the questions you might have at this stage were already answered a thousand times on the list). And then, when you're confortable with kannel, install the sqlbox patch so you can enqueue all your messages using a simple query :) Regards, On 11/14/05, Waste <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am in the same boat, however I am just fine using PHP and MySQL (would > probably set it up to run as a cron) > > My question is..what then?
