Hi Rudy,

This is the support forum for the NowSMS gateway, so I'm afraid that I can only help answer this question in the context of using our product.

NowSMS does not run on a Linux platform. It needs to be installed on a Windows platform (NT/2000/XP/2003).

There are various examples of PHP scripts that can be used to submit messages to a NowSMS gateway shown at the following links:

Messages are submitted to NowSMS over HTTP, so the PHP script could be run from a Linux box, even though the NowSMS server is physically running on a separate Windows PC.

NowSMS can also be configured to call an HTTP script when a message is received, passing the details of the received message. So this script could be a PHP script running under a web server on either a Windows or Linux box. More info on processing received messages with NowSMS can be found at the following link:
