PHP - Delaying Sms Sending From Php Script
Hey all,
I have a simple php script that whenever it is run (it is called x times per day from crontab) it sends out an sms to 10 people. Unfortunatelly the cell carrier has put a "delay" threshold of 30 seconds between sms that you can send in order to prevent sms spamming. The problem is that my script had a foreach loop that it just send out the sms to everyone so it took around 0.5-1 second for each sms.. Way to low for the 30 seconds that now are enforced. Do you have any ideas of what i can do to "force" my script to obey that 30 second delay between each sms? I thought of putting a cron job every 1 minute and send one by one the sms but wouldn't that be a problem to the server to have to execute 1440 times per day a script? I also thought of using some sleep function but i don't know if that would result in finally the script to output a success result after 10*30=300seconds(5mins).. Any ideas are appreciated! Similar TutorialsGood day programmers, please I'm a novice in coding and I need help with a script where people can send invitation message to their friend on my site as sms. I want users on my site to just drop the phone number of their friends only in the html form and it automatically sends the message I have configured to the number the member placed in the form. I'm hosted with hostgator, though I'm in nigeria, I run SMF 2.0.1 forum on my site, my targeted members are nigerians too. I have sms gateway with bbnsms.com, please guyz I need the script and html form for only phone number field(No message Field) as I want to send the same message that I already compose to all the phone numbers. Thanks guyz. Here are the project of files: So the problem I'm running into is, while php ---> php is fine (it's recovering all of my variables, I've tested with echo), the problem seems to be where I have made a command ./createlisting.sh $itemno $title $header $description $image It reads in $itemno, $title, $header $description just fine, but it fails when I try to send an image. Again I've echoed it out and my $image variable contains the correct image name. When it gets sent to the bash script and the bash script sends it to a "log.txt" it only shows $1 thru $4, excluding the $5. When I try to use the img src to create the image on the page, the outputting echo on the page is <img src ="/images/" /> Which of course is going to result in nothing. What advice can you guys offer me? Thanks! createPage.php: <html> <body> <form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="submitForm.php" method="post"> Item#: <input type="text" name="itemno" value="1" /><br /> Title: <input type="text" name="title" value="My Listing" /><br /> Header: <input type="text" name="header" value="ENTER YOUR LISTING" /><br /> <textarea name="description" cols="60" rows="20"> You will have to use quotes on anything that has more than one word.

I have a section of code that sends an order confirmation to me when a customer places an order with us.
This all works fine but recently, I have started to get duplicate confirmations coming from the same customers, one in particular, many times a day...
Is there anything obvious about this code that could be causing it?
Thanks,

Thanks Tanu Hi, i have a script problem as I am a graphic designer with zero php knowledge. I have a contact script that sends emails but they are blank. Meaning all text fields are not sending. If you could correct this for me thanks in advance. Here is my hacked up script that sends email with empty fields: im testing the following script and it wont send 1 2 3 until the script has finished executing. What can i do to flush the buffer after every echo statement?? <?php echo "1"; ob_flush();flush(); sleep(5); echo "2"; ob_flush();flush(); sleep(5); echo "3"; ob_flush();flush(); ?> Hi there, I am using this code to send the users email address to the database. That works fine, but i keep getting blank info added to the database. Does anyone know how i can stop this? <?php $con = mysql_connect("*","*","*"); if (!$con) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } mysql_select_db("ogs_mailinglist1", $con); $sql="INSERT INTO mailinglist (email) VALUES ('$_POST[rec_email]')"; if (!mysql_query($sql,$con)) { die('Error: ' . mysql_error()); } mysql_close($con); ?> Thanks, Hi, I am trying to loop a script every 10 seconds but am getting the following error: Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded Part of the code is: <?php while (1) { echo "hello"; sleep(10); ob_flush; flush(); } ?> I have put echo "hello" just to test before adding the script.

Hi, I hope it is possible to establish, what I am going to ask Currently I am using a site where I am entering a xml code, that is sent to certain workflow. That workflow returns me a few csv files within the same http session. So simply, there is a page with the TEXTAREA - where i enter xml code and subsequently I click on the Submit button. After that the new page is opened where I have links to csv files. I wonder if would be possible to establish that using php code. I would like to run everything in background, sending xml code to that workflow and get those files. Everything without opening that site, entering xml code, submitin that ,and clicking on each link to download those files. I am not looking for exact answer. Just if you can tell me where I can start. My php knowledge is not great, but I have written a few things so far. So if you can help where to start, I would be more than happy Thanks Hey guys, Coding something for a survey as no solution exists for our needs. I have not finished the code as I still need to do error checks + making it spam proof. Anyway I am not reciving the email even though it says that I have been sent it. Any suggestions are appreciated, please ask if you need additional info to be able to help, and thank you in advanced.
