How can I send sms using codeigniter 4? - sms

Question

I'm trying to send SMS using CodeIgniter 4 but something went wrong any help or another way to send?
This is my code:
public function message()
{
/*Check submit button */
if ($this->request->getPost()) {
$email = $this->input->post('email');
$data=$this->users_model->getUserByEmail($email);
$phone=$data['phone'];
$authKey = "3456655757gEr5a019b18";
/*Multiple mobiles numbers separated by comma*/
$mobileNumber = $phone;
/*Sender ID,While using route4 sender id should be 6 characters long.*/
$senderId = "ABCDEF";
/*Your message to send, Add URL encoding here.*/
$message = "From Codeigniter 4";
/*Define route */
$route = "route=4";
/*Prepare you post parameters*/
$postData = array(
'authkey' => $authKey,
'mobiles' => $mobileNumber,
'message' => $message,
'sender' => $senderId,
'route' => $route
);
/*API URL*/
$url="https://control.msg91.com/api/sendhttp.php";
/* init the resource */
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($ch, array(
CURLOPT_URL => $url,
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_POST => true,
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => $postData
/*,CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true*/
));
/*Ignore SSL certificate verification*/
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
/*get response*/
$output = curl_exec($ch);
/*Print error if any*/
if (curl_errno($ch)) {
echo 'error:' . curl_error($ch);
}
curl_close($ch);
echo "Message Sent Successfully !";
}
}
After run the code above my web page return "Message Sent Successfully!", but nothing received in my phone. What is the problem?

Answer 1

What does the cURL call responds in the $output variable?
You already put the output in it and i think it will guide you to the reason why the SMS is not sending out to your phone.
