Dodra Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Greetings everyone! I want to know how (if possible) I can make a PHP script execute itself once daily. It should send a text message. And while I am on the subject. How do i send a Text message to Belgian numbers? I have yet to find a workable tutorial for that. Thanks in advance for the replies.

justsomeguy Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Unix/Linux servers use cron, Windows servers have Scheduled Tasks. How do i send a Text message to Belgian numbers? What's special about Belgian numbers? If supported, one way is to send an email to the phone number at the carrier's email/SMS gateway if you know which carrier they use and the carrier makes their gateway public. The actual way is to use an SMS server to send a text message, you can probably find one online that you can register for to send messages through it.

Dodra Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 It must be a file on the internet that preforms the task. I tried to send a text message to myself, but did not receive it. I tried: MYNUMER@base.be but did not receive any message. Is there a tutorial that shows how to create a script like this? Thanks in advance!

justsomeguy Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I'm sure there are plenty of SMS tutorials for PHP. If it doesn't work to just send an email to your provider then they might not offer that service. Mine uses a different domain. For example, I'm on T-Mobile, but to send a text it's not my number @tmobile.com, it's my number @tmomail.com I think, I don't remember which domain they use for that. You would need to look it up though and figure out what they offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
