Hi Boris, It's easiest to think of it this way... Could you write a script (PHP, ASP, or other web scripting language) that processed a web form where the user entered a number into the form and your script returned this exist or empty response? When you define a 2-way command in NowSMS it essentially works the same way, it is like the text message is a web form being submitted to your script (2-way command). A good starting point example in PHP can be found here: http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/1/3991.html It shows you how the data from the text message is passed to a PHP script. You would need to add logic to interface with your database. -- Des NowSMS Support | |||

Hi Boris, NowSMS is going to perform an HTTP GET form reqeust. So what is the variable name in your form? I'll suppose it is named TEXT. In NowSMS, configure a 2-way command of http://server/search.php?SENDER=@@SENDER@@&TEXT=@@FULLSMS@@ Define the SMS Command Prefix as * (meaning all inbound SMS will be routed here). Check "Command Returns Response Text" (means that your PHP script will return a text response). Here is a simple PHP script: <? header ("Content-Type: text/plain"); if (isset($_REQUEST['SENDER'])) { if (isset($_REQUEST['TEXT'])) { $text = $_REQUEST['TEXT']; // Here you'd do your processing of the input text // We just return a simple text response echo "I recieved your message : " . $text; } else { echo "ERROR : 'TEXT' parameter missing\r\n"; } } else { echo "ERROR : 'SENDER' parameter missing!\r\n"; } ?> $_REQUEST['SENDER'] and $_REQUEST['TEXT'] are how we parse the form request variables. header ("Content-Type: text/plain") tells PHP we are returning a simple text response, and in this case we are using the PHP echo command to return it. -bn Bryce Norwood Now SMS/MMS Support | |||

OK I get it, I test the script and got it, I'll buy a cheap modem to test it live, I'm planning to buy a Sierra Wireless AT&T USBConnect 881 3G GSM Modem, will it work? | |||

Hi Boris, Sierra Wireless modems generally work quite well, there is just a trick to get them configured initially because of the drivers. The following link will explain and guide: http://www.nowsms.com/sierra-wireless-881-usb-modem-881u-and-nowsms http://www.nowsms.com/sms-and-mms-with-the-sierra-wireless-compass-885-usb-modem -- Des NowSMS Support | |||
