The Bakery Everything CakePHP

In order to use this component, your PHP installation needs to support cURL and you need to have a Panacea Mobile username/password (can be obtained at http://www.panaceamobile.com).

You may download the component from:

www.panaceamobile.com/panacea_sms_component.zip

Once done, save panacea_sms.php in your components directory (usually under app/controllers/components).

Then place the following code in your controller where you wish to use the component.


var $components = array('PanaceaSms');

This will include the component into your controller.

Now, in your controller functions, when you wish to send an SMS/text message, your code should look something like this:


$this->PanaceaSms->username = "myusername"; /* This is your Panacea Mobile username */
$this->PanaceaSms->password = "mypassword"; /* This is your Panacea Mobile password */
if($this->PanaceaSms->send("44881234567", "Hello there!")) {
   /* SMS Sent */
}

Easy as that!

Advanced features (optional)

There are some 'advanced' features available if you wish to change the from number (the number which the message appears to be from) as well as receive delivery reports. This can be done as below:


$fromNumber = "44881234569";
$this->PanaceaSms->username = "myusername"; /* This is your Panacea Mobile username */
$this->PanaceaSms->password = "mypassword"; /* This is your Panacea Mobile password */
$this->PanaceaSms->delivery_report_mask = 31; /* This is for all statuses */
$this->PanaceaSms->delivery_report_url = Router::url(array('action' => 'receive_delivery_report'), true);
if($this->PanaceaSms->send("44881234567", "Hello there!", $fromNumber)) {
   /* SMS Sent */
}

Now, when a delivery report comes in for your message, it will hit the URL specified under delivery_report_url. I have included an example of how to deal with this in your controller.


function receive_delivery_report() {
    $details = $this->PanaceaSms->getDeliveryReport();
    if($details !== FALSE) {
        /* original to, from, message and status returned in an array */
    }
}
