Hi All,

I am testing an PHP based application that talks to a database etc blah blah blah.

I currently have the app submitting wap push messages fine but the user see's the screen output within my app from nowsms as follows.

Message Submitted

Continue

How can I get rid of this?
How can I submit my wap push or any message format via url to nowsms so that the user does not even know it's gone out?
Is this a PHP thing?

Any help in pointing me in the write direction much appreciated, thanks, Digs.

I'm thinking you could add a HTML redirection/refresh header to the page that sends out the nowsms message. Or you could use header() in PHP to redirect the user once the message has been sent.

Both ways involve playing with the file that sends the message.

Hope that helps,
Nathan

There is a file named SubmitOK.HTM in the HTML subdirectory of the NowSMS gateway which you could modify.

If possible, for security reasons, you might want to avoid having the user's browser connect directly to the NowSMS server. For example, you may want to have the users interact with your PHP script, and then have the PHP script initiate its own HTTP connection to the NowSMS server to send out a message.

The reason that I suggest this is because there are people out there who are constantly searching the internet looking for ways to send out free SMS messages.
