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!

Oh yeah... How can I get rid of the "FRM: ...@secureserve" text that shows at the top of an sms? I just want the sms to mainly show my message (which is something short leading up to the URL of my mobile site). When I sent the sms to my phone, the FRM portion does look bothersome, and also adds unneeded characters to the text. For Eaxample... I sent a txtmsg to HEROES mobile and I got a simple response which looks like this:
HEROES: Use your cell
phone's Internet browser to

Thanks!

Hi Quantum...
Say... not to trouble you, cheif...but there seems to be something wrong with that 2nd version file which you said was recently posted. It's not working. Corupted, I think. Perhaps you've been looking into it even before I sent this note to you. Well...here on my end, I'm trying to modify the php, using a web form (html/php) that I got from web design class some time ago. It comes in four parts... the web form (html), the php, thankyou.html, and error.html... I think if I swipe/copy/paste some code back and forth, I believe I can fix the problem of making the sms form acknowledge a separate 'thankyou.html' web page, along with separate 'error.html' web page. I'm a tad slow at it (php), yet It seems quite feasable :-) Anyhow... the main goal is to get it working within an iFrame. The way it should work is, a visitor inputs their 10-digit number, selects their carrier, then clicks 'send-to-phone.' Then the 'thank you' page displays itself (their ought to be a RESET link there to get the web/sms form to refresh).
Thanks for any help you can give me on this matter :-)

Hi Keith,
I've fixed the download and it should work fine now.
I've added a few things to this version.
1. Seperate thankyou and error page
2. External style sheet
3. Changed the look for the better
LOL!! Thought I was the only guy awake this time of night! Hey...I just got your reply... Thanks a Bunch! Yes, this time the files have downloaded without a problem. I'm going to give it a go first thing in the morning! I'll get back to ya and let you know the results! So far, this is a tremendous help :-) Thank You!
Keith.

So far, this smsphp is working fine. I'm just wondering if there's any way to get rid of, or hide the 'FRM:' text? This is the text that displays as part of the header text, I think. It displays my phone number (i.e., "phonenumber@p3slh075.shr.phx3.secureserve"). Is there a way to not have this info display so that I could get more room for extra characters of text?
In using this method, I would like for the sms to only show "SUBJ:" and "MSG:" followed by 'From' (which it already does this naturally - i.e., 'From: 1010100078'). Okay... just curious and wondering if there's a way within the PHP to do that.
Thanks!
Keith.

Hey Keith,
I'll work on that next. It seems it might be related to what the cell company includes with sending messages this way.
I'm exploring some other ways of sending so stay tuned. I'll post a comment as soon as I know more. Soon.
