I have tried the web pages that you have created, entering the phone number that i wish for the text message to go to and changing email addresses, however when I click on the call me button, it opens up a file download field, asking if i would like to open or save the file. If I click open it opens in Dreamweaver and does not send the message. Can you please help ?
I can attach the code back if you would like to make sure that I didn't do anything wrong.

It sounds like you are not hence the file download.

To make this code work the pages need to be served (hosted) on a coldfusion server otherwise this will not work.

I've also modified the code from my cell phone provider's website. They usually have the form right on there to send a text message... grab the code from there and use your cell phone provider's already-in-place processing.
TextMarks (www.textmarks.com) has a cool app that allows you to create a keyword and use it with their dedicated 5-digit number, so you can do your own "Txt 'keyword' to 12345" promotion campaigns, etc. The catch is, it has to be txted from a mobile phone. I wish I could borrow that code and implement it on my website, so that visitors can also txt their 10-digit number from my site and they get the txtmsg bounced to their phone. Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

There is another great tutorial about sending custom text messages from your website.
It's at
http://www.easykiss123.com/tutorials...ple/index.html
It is set up so you custom text messages can be sent to users after they put in their phone number. Nice!

Hi QuantumPHP! :-) Tried responding to you earlier today, yet I think it didn't go through when I hit SEND. First of all, I want to thank You so, so much for leading me towards the right direction with an answer to the mystical "Send a TxtMsg to your phone from your Site"! LOL!!!! Wow!! I downloaded those files and truth be told, it does actually work!! I'm Thrilled!! :-)
Of course...heh-heh... I do have a couple of questions for ya... I'm not a php master by far, yet I noticed the smsphp form has a 'print' command/function which displays whatever text is written in that area, onto a web page (user side)...ok... Well, here's two things that came up... On one hand, I slightly modified the smsphp form and I tried using it within an iFrame on my Site, which looked and worked quite well. The problem is, when you enter a phone number/click send-to-phone, that's when the "Your Txt Was Sent Successfully" msg displays itself within the iFrame... h'mmmm. Sort of looks quite out of place against the color background surrounding the rest of the site. Somehow, I need to have it be a separate web page linked to the form, so that I could have a bit more control over the look of the web page color/font, etc. (hope I'm explaining it correctly). Also, if there's a way to make it work as I explained, then I think a RESET button would help too, if it were situated on that same page.
Secondly... I could make the smsphp form do a pop-up action (target=blank), showing the form in a separate window/web page, yet I'd still appreciate more control over the look of the "Your Txt Was Sent Successfully" web page.
And, lastly..just out of curiousity... how do you create a link within that same {print;} function?? The text reads "Your Text Was Sent Successfully...etc." How can I place a url link within that text? Example: "Click Here To Go back To Home Page" ...??!? How do you code this as a URL within the PHP so that it displays as a LINK on the user side?
Thank you very much for your time on this matter! :-)
Sincerely,
Keith/ZenMartian
