Programmatically Sending SMS

Sending an SMS message via PHP is very straight forward to do, all you need to do is first load the SMS model and then there is a function that allows you to send a message which will then interact with whatever SMS provider the platform is set to.

The following code wil send a single SMS message to the number provided.

$CI =& get_instance();
$CI->load->model("Sms_model");
$CI->Sms_model->sendsmsmessage($number,$message);
