Sending Bulk SMS using php

PHP
1

Hi all,
I work for a mobile communication company and I would like develop an web interface for send bulk sms. I managed to create something but it has to bind and unbind to the SMSC the number of times i have the numbers. Is there a way I can just send at once??Below is what I developed

<?php
	if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
		$msisdn=$_POST['msisdn'];//phone numbers
		$arr=explode(',',$msisdn);
		$msg=$_POST['msg'];//message
		for($i=0;$i<count($arr);$i++){
			print $cmd='smppclient -a 192.168.5.12/16920 -u user -Q 1 -p pass -s 1 -S TEXT -D '. $arr[$i] .' -O 555  -T  "' . $msg .'"';
			$status=system($cmd,$output);
			echo "<br> sent <br> ";
		}
	}
	if(!isset($_POST['submit'])){
?>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="">
  <table width="600" height="170" border="0">
    <tr>
      <td valign="top">Please Enter the Numbers Seperated by Comma(,) </td>
      <td valign="top"><textarea name="msisdn" cols="40" rows="10" id="msisdn"></textarea></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td valign="top">Enter the Message </td>
      <td><textarea name="msg" cols="40" id="msg"></textarea></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td colspan="2" align="center"><input type="submit" name="submit" value="send"></td>
    </tr>
  </table>
</form>
<?php
	}
?>

well, instead of looping through and executing the command, why don’t you instead loop through and build the argument list, concatinating it to the end of the command string? Though to be honest I don’t know if that particular command line client can accept multiple numbers, so ymmv.
