How to send / receive SMS text from PHP using a database
Most PHP enabled websites use a database server (MySQL or PostgreSQL) for data storage. These database solutions integrate well with the needs of PHP developers. If you use a database server for your website, you should consider to setup an SQL SMS Gateway configuration for your system (Figure 1). The SQL SMS Gateway configuration of Ozeki NG will work the following way:
You have to create two database tables. One will be used for receiving SMS text messages (ozekimessagein) and another will be used to send SMS text messages (ozekimessageout). If an SMS message is received by the system Ozeki NG SMS Gateway will insert a record into ozekimessagein. Your PHP application can read the ozekimessagein database table and check for incoming messages.
If you want to send a text message, you can use the ozekimessageout table. You can insert a record into ozekimessageout. Ozeki NG SMS Gateway will periodically check your outgoing database table using an SQL SELECT and if it finds a message to be sent it will send it.
With this easy method you can set up a two way SMS communication channel.
