Send SMS and MMS Messages Using Twilio | Twilio SMS MMS API

When you buy an SMS-enabled Twilio phone number, you can associate that phone number with a URL. When someone sends a text message to that phone number, Twilio makes an HTTP request to your URL with the body of the message and the sender’s phone number. You can then respond to the Message by returning a reply message in the HTTP response to Twilio.

You can also send messages using Twilio’s REST API. To send a message, just make an HTTP POST to Twilio with the body of the message and the phone number you want to send it to. SMS messages must be sent from Twilio SMS-enabled phone numbers due to the architecture of the global SMS network.

You can use the following code for sending message through twilio api,For that you need to download the twilio library from twilio.com/docs/libraries.

$AccountSid = “ACXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX”
$AuthToken = “YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY”
// Step 3: instantiate a new Twilio Rest Client
