I have this Hotel Management & Booking System I'm currently working on. I want to enable it send sms alerts for every transaction. I have tried MTN Email2sms that didn't work and more over it's limited to only 5 sms per day. Any ideas on how to implement this using PHP. This whole SMTP server thing is weighing me down...

Then you should use a bulk sms service.

I developed a php sending code that send sms through smslive247 gateway. if you are a developer you can request for the code and you modify it to your taste. if you are using wordpress as your development platform download the plugin I created for it here https://github.com/habeelety/hb-wp-sms/downloads But if you need me to modify it for you you pay a token for that. mail me at talk2hb1[at]gmail[dot]com

Brand_new: Then you should use a bulk sms service.
I guess you didn't read the post properly, I said "using PHP"...there should be a way to use the bulk sms provider's gate way in the PHP script

I think he read properly. I don't think you understand the concept.

You need a (bulk) sms service API to connect to for this to work.
PHP is only a medium to connect to the API.

I don't think this should be a major issue.

1. Get a bulk SMS service
2. Study the API of the service
3. Create a function using PHP cURL to connect to the service and send SMS.
4. Call the function on every transaction, adding any arguments to the function like the amount and the description of the transaction.

====
function sendSms($amount, $description){
//write the cURL block that connects to the bulk sms service
}

if(//carry out transaction successfully){
sendSms($amount, "Balance payment for reservation made." );
}

Already done step 1 - 2 what I need is a script that will guide me...

If you have done those steps then it means you should have the API documentation. Provide the documentation so we can have a look at it and help you from there.

If the documentation is not readily available via a link but is in PDF format, just copy paste the example url to send an sms, as stated in the document.

On one of my websites, I use www.smslive247.com and they provide a good api that I integrated with PHP. I used the HTTP GET request to communicate with their api. For example if a user registers and I want to provide a confirmation that his/her registration was successful, I would use this code below

<?php
if ($user) //Registration successful {

	$message = 'Hello '.$user['name'].', your registration with www.website.com was successful. Then more information here.';
	$message = urlencode($message);
	
	$url = 'http://www.smslive247.com/http/index.aspx?cmd=sendquickmsg&owneremail=xxxxxxx@mail.com&subacct=Bleep&subacctpwd=000000';
	$url .= '&message='.$message.'&sender=Sitename&sendto='.$user['phone'].'&msgtype=0';
	
	if ($f = @fopen($url, "r"wink) { 
		$answer = fgets($f, 255); 
		if (substr($answer, 0, 1) == "+"wink {  
			//echo "SMS to User was successful.";  
		} else {  
			//echo "an error has occurred: [$answer].";  
		}  
	} else {  
		//echo "Error: URL could not be opened.";  
	}  
}
	?>


For more information, you can check http://new.smslive247.com/developer_api/download/SMSLive247_HTTP.zip

[Edit: I split the $url string for better readability ]

Hope this helps.
