Basically, what I need to do is
Task#1: Mobile Terminated (MT) messages be automatically inserted in MySQL database.
Task#2: Mobile Originated (MO) messages be automatically inserted in MySQL database.
I've heard someone who used PHP to do insertion to database. What I plan to do is this (as from my understanding of kannel):
Use PHP script to act as an intermediary between Kannel and MySQL.
Question#1:
In ~/gateway-1.4.0/contribs/php-admin folder, there is a script named sendsms.php. Is it the script that runs http interface sendsms interface?
Assumption#1:
~/gateway-1.4.0/contribs/php-admin/sendsms.php is the script that the gateway runs when using the http interface in sending sms (Mobile Terminated, MT).
Question#2:
If Assumption#1 holds, I have an idea of inserting codes in it that connects to a MySQL database and would automatically insert MT messages. Is it feasible? Is my idea alright?
Question#3
But this will only solve Task#1. How about Task#2? How will I use PHP to "track" incoming messages? What part of Kannel can PHP communicate so as to "sense" Mobile Originated (MO) messages?
Assumption#2:
~/gateway-1.4.0/contribs/php-admin/sendsms.php is NOT the script or program that the gateway executes when using the http interface in sending SMS. It some other programs or gatewat mechanism which I am do not know.
Question#4:
If Assumption#2 holds, how will I use PHP to track outgoing (MT) messages? Question#3 is also repeated. How will I use PHP to "sense" incoming (MO) messages.
Question#5:
As from my understanding of Kannel, it is the bearerbox that sends and receives messages. Is there some way that PHP can communicate with the bearerbox?
Question#6:
Since I would be using PHP as an intermediary between Kannel and MySQL, will it be necessary to use "./configure --with-mysql" in compiling the gateway?
Question#7:
Will I still need to configure DLR group in conf? What role will DLR play in my setup, assuming it is correct? (I can hardly understand DLR until now, because I cannot compile well).
Pardon for silly questions. Thanks for those who can bear with them and answer them.
