Basically I have setup the following http request as the command for my 2-way configuration at the gateway: http://localhost/twowaysms.php?sender=@@SENDER@@&fullmsg=@@FULLSMS@@ The response from within my PHP script is in the form of: http://127.0.0.1:9000/?phonenumber=".$_REQUEST('sender')."&text=".urlencode("$response") However, I keep getting the INVALID PARAMETER/PHONENUMBER FORMAT error from the gateway. Having carried out some various tests, I am successfully able to send a message using the following response: http://127.0.0.1:9000/?phonenumber=xxxxxxxxxxx&text=".urlencode("Hello World") where xxxxxxxxxxx is my actual mobile number in the format 077xx06x66x (i.e. without the +44). If I use +4477xx06x66x then I keep getting that same error message from the server. So I was wondering if there was a technique to convert the variable 'sender' from the format of +4477xx06x66x into the format of 077xx06x66x, so that I can then plug the variable straight into the URL. Any advice is much appreciated. | |||

Urlencode the sender. The + character needs to be urlencoded...otherwise + is considered to be a space within a url parameter. -bn | |||
