Note Submitter: adam.beaumont@aqcorporate.com ---- Curl support in PHP is excellent. CURL is a good alternative to lynx --dump simply because it supports SSL straight out of the box. if you're stuck with a machine that doesn't have CURL support, you may want to try simply the file() function. Eg the clumsy but workable example at : http://www.sms2email.com/site/example_phps.htm (more info at http://www.sms2email.com/site/developerinfo2.php) If you're stuck with a provider that has CURL installed on the server but not compiled into PHP, you could always do something messy like : system("/path/to/curl -d to_num=447778123456 -d message=hello+world http://username:password@www.sms2email.com/sms/postmsg.php") i'm going to get slated for this aren't i!
