Code Examples

The following code examples illustrate how HTTP requests can be programmatically sent to the SMS HTTP Interface and the associated HTTP response read.

PHP Example

Send SMS

<?
$myaccount=urlencode("USERNAME");
$mypasswd=urlencode("PASSWORD");
// For default alphabet
$mymsg=urlencode("Hello world");
// For unicode:
//  $unimsg = mb_convert_encoding("Hello world", 'UTF-16BE', 'auto');
//  $mymsg=urlencode($unimsg);
// For iso-8859-1:
//  $isomsg = mb_convert_encoding("Hej världen", 'ISO-8859-1', 'auto');
//  $mymsg = urlencode($isomsg);
$myto="46731111111";
$myfrom=urlencode("4673222222");
$route="G1";
//Contact your Account-manager to check settings for your account
$sendsms = "http://imghttp.fortytwotele.com/api/current/send/message.php" . "?username=$myaccount" .
"&password=$mypasswd" . "&to=$myto" . "&from=$myfrom" . "&message=$mymsg" . "&route=$route";
// For unicode:
// "&encoding=utf8&coding=unicode";
$getsmsstatus=file($sendsms);
$splitstatus = explode(",",$getsmsstatus[0]); if ($splitstatus[0] == "1") {
$msgid = trim($splitstatus[1]);
echo "Message sent to gateway. smsid:" . $msgid;
} else {
$msgerror=trim($splitstatus[1]);
echo "Couldn't send message. Errorcode:" . $msgerror;
}
?>

Convert accented characters which are not part of the gsm7 character set to plain characters which are supported. For example, convert Ï to I

function gsm_unsupported_fix($msgIn){
// Replace accented characters in $msgIn (contains message) with standard
// alphabetic character equivalent as these characters are not included in
// the GSM7 character set
$gsmChar=array('ç','ï','Ï','ÿ','Ÿ','â','Â','ê','î','ô','Ô','û','È','À','Ù','Œ','œ','Î','Ë','ë','Ê','ê','Ò','ó','Ì','Ó','«','»','º','ª','Á','Ã','Í','Õ','Ú','á','ã','í','õ','ú');
$gsmHttp=array('c','i','I','y','Y','a','A','e','i','o','O','u','E','A','U','OE','oe','I','E','e','E','e','O','o','I','O','"','"','','','A','A','I','O','U','a','a','i','o','u');
    $msgOut = $msgIn; 
    for($i=0;$i<count($gsmChar);$i++){
        $msgOut=str_replace($gsmChar[$i],$gsmHttp[$i],$msgOut);
    }
    return $msgOut;
}

Receive callback and handle callbacks for message status changes

<?
$mysmsid = $_GET["smsid"]; // to get sms id
$mystatus = $_GET["status"]; // to get status
$mydate = $_GET["date"]; // to get date
$myfrom = $_GET["from"]; // to get from
$myto = $_GET["to"]; // to get to
$timestamp = $_GET['timestamp'];
$date = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", $timestamp); //Use to update database etc. echo "OK";
?>

JAVA Example

try {
    // Generate the HTTP POST request parameters
    String params = URLEncoder.encode("username", "UTF-8") + "=" + URLEncoder.encode("USERNAME", "UTF-8");
    params += "&" + URLEncoder.encode("password", "UTF-8") + "=" + URLEncoder.encode("PASSWORD", "UTF-8");
    params += "&" + URLEncoder.encode("to", "UTF-8")+ "=" + URLEncoder.encode("46731111111", "UTF-8");
    params += "&" + URLEncoder.encode("from", "UTF-8")+ "=" + URLEncoder.encode("4673222222", "UTF-8");
    params += "&" + URLEncoder.encode("route", "UTF-8")+ "=" + URLEncoder.encode("G1", "UTF-8");
    params += "&" + URLEncoder.encode("message", "UTF-8")+ "=" + URLEncoder.encode("Hello World", "UTF-8");

    // Open a connection to the HTTP interface URL url = new 
URL("http://imghttp.fortytwotele.com/api/current/send/message.php"); URLConnection conn = url.openConnection(); conn.setDoOutput(true);
    // Send the HTTP POST Request OutputStreamWriter wr = new 
OutputStreamWriter(conn.getOutputStream()); wr.write(params);
    wr.flush();
    // Read the HTTP Response
    BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
    String response = rd.readLine(); System.out.println(response);
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) { e.printStackTrace();
} catch (MalformedURLException e) { e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace();
