Re: Re: Text messaging from web url

[Justin <justin@xxxxxxx>]

Alex,

I would suggest using a function in a HS script, this could be called from
other HS scripts or as a one-liner and saves the overhead of a plugin.

Something like this should work. Just save it as a text file called sms.txt
in
your HS scripts directory.

Justin.

'******************************************************************
'Script to send SMS messages using the sendmytxt.com service

'Call this function from your scripts or as a one-liner like this:
'hs.RunEx "sms.txt","SMS","RECIPIENT
NUMBER","TXTMESSAGE"
'e.g. hs.RunEx "sms.txt","sms","123456789,Hello
World"

Function sms(Params)

Dim MyMobileNum, PIN, Recipient, Message, host, page

SMSinfo = Split(Params,",")

Recipient = Trim(SMSinfo(0))
Message = replace(SMSinfo(1)," ","&")

PIN = "12345"			'Your sendmytxt.com PIN goes here
MyMobileNum = "123456789"	'The mobile number you registered goes
here

host = "sendmytxt.com"
page = "/app/httpsend.asp?"
page = page & "from=" & MyMobileNum &
"&to=" & Recipient & "&pin=" & PIN
page = page & "&message=" & Message
strip_tags = false 'true
port = 80


Result = Trim(hs.GetURL(host, page, strip_tags, port))

Select Case Result

Case  "0" ReturnVal = "No from number or pin entered"
Case "-1" Returnval = "from number not a registered
user"
Case "-2" ReturnVal = "incorrect pin"
Case "-3" ReturnVal = "account suspended"
Case "-4" ReturnVal = "insufficient credits"
Case "-5" ReturnVal = "message sending failed"
Case "-6" ReturnVal = "format of to number not
recognised"
Case "-7" ReturnVal = "format of from number not
recognised"
Case Else ReturnVal = "Unknown error"

End Select

hs.writelog "SMS Info", "Sending message to: " &
Recipient
hs.writelog "SMS Info", "Message reads: " &
Replace(Message,"&"," ")
hs.writelog "SMS Info", "Service response: " &
ReturnVal

sms = ReturnVal
End Function
