I forgot to mention. SMPP connections require an active daemon
sending/receiving live signals (pings or PDUs). This means your system
must be up and running 100% of the time connected to your bulk sms
provider, even if no one is sending messages through your websites.
That's why Kannel is the best way to do it. It is a very stable daemon.
I'm not sure about those Perl and Php solutions, but they don't look
like ready-for-production daemons, it looks to me that those are more
like API's you can use to build your own thing.
I think the PHP program you got needs to be executed rather than ran on
a web server. Some people use PHP to build stuff like that and they
should be punished :)

Hi,
I need to send SMS from websites.
I moved from a "Kannel + GSM" system to a Bulk SMS provider system due
to increasing volumes.
I am not targeting BulkSMS provider URL instead of Kannel machine web
URL.
The problem is that I need a SMPP bind to BulkSMS provider to get
Delivery reports and feeds MySQL.
I suppose that running Kannel only for that purpose is not the best way.
I found 2 ways that can fit my needs but still not succeed :
- Perl Net:SMPP
http://search.cpan.org/~sampo/Net-SMPP-1.11/SMPP.pm
Even I suppose it is the best way. I am not familliar with perl and
don't know how to proceed to cron that on my linux server.
- Lightweight PHP SMPP API
https://sourceforge.net/projects/phpsmppapi/
I tried to run the exemples but no results (blank page)
Please help if you are using such a system or advise if not. Other
script or exemples are welcome too.
Thanks for your help.
