That code relates to the SMSAPI link provided by @Lemon_Juice I followed the links there (library section) about PHP.
I have never used this, so cannot advise. I was just looking for how the API can be accessed with php.
I believe you will need to create an account on SMSAPI to use the code.

Yes. This is paid service, you will need to create an account and then you will be able to send sms messages. Besides the sample php code read the documentation provided on smsapi.com.

Some SMS services also have an email interface (and I haven’t followed the link above so that might be one of them) - so you send an email in a specific format to a specific address, and their service sends the SMS. Some I have seen ask you to put the destination phone number in the email subject line, others use it as the first part of the email address, so you’d email to mobilephone@gatewayserver.email for example.
