Laravel open url in server side after action - laravel

Question

is there any way to open url in "server side".
I'm using https://www.lightsms.com/ as my sms gateway. And to send sms, you need to visit (for example) https://www.lightsms.com/send.php, so i don't want to redirect user to that url. I just want to open it in server background, and close.
after route and before real redirect, example's here:
Route::get('/sms', function() {
//i need to excecute that url here
redirect('success.html');
});
Is there any way to do this?

I think you need to do this asynchronously using xhr or ajax if you use jquery, you basically post the information asynchronously and your server (your php script) just returns a json back, in your success function / promise you can get the data and do something with it if you like, this process does not require any redirect.
This is a simple example which you may need to modify:
function asyncPost(event){
$.ajax({
url: "https://www.lightsms.com/send.php",
data: {
name: "any value or variable,"
id: "any value or variable"
},
datatype: "json",
type: "POST",
success: function(data) {
console.log("success");
// do something with data if you need, data contains the returned data from your php script
},
error: function(data) {
console.log("an error occured");
}
});
}
