Twilio PHP implementation

Make sure you have PHP version 7 or latest installed.

After cloning the repository run the following command in the root directory:

composer require twilio/sdk

Send an SMS/Quickstart

Once you have run the composer, the Vendor folder will be created hence why we are using the Client class from the Vendor directory. Paste your sid in the $sid variable and do the same for the token which will be assigned to the $token variable.

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';  
 
use Twilio\Rest\Client; 
 
$sid    = "here"; // YOUR SID HERE
$token  = "here"; //YOUR TOKEN HERE

Then call the method Client and give it the above defined variables as shown below.

$twilio = new Client($sid, $token); 

To finalize sending a message, assign a 2 dimension array abject to the variable($twilio) defined above. The identifier will be the number to receive the sms, the messagingServiceSid represents the number twilio has given to you and finally the *body represents the message thats supposed to be sent. After running the code you are supposed to get a response from the server.

$message = $twilio->messages 
                  ->create("+265888158673", // NUMBER TO SEND THE SMS
                           array(  
                               "messagingServiceSid" => "here", //THIS REPRESENTS YOUR TWILIO NUMBER     
                               "body" => "malawi is a very beautiful country" 
                           ) 
                  ); 
 
print($message->sid);

The entire code is supposed to be written as below:

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';  
 
use Twilio\Rest\Client; 
 
$sid    = "here"; // YOUR SID HERE
$token  = "here"; //YOUR TOKEN HERE

$twilio = new Client($sid, $token); 

$message = $twilio->messages 
                  ->create("+265888158673", // NUMBER TO SEND THE SMS
                           array(  
                               "messagingServiceSid" => "here", //THIS REPRESENTS YOUR TWILIO NUMBER     
                               "body" => "malawi is a very beautiful country" 
                           ) 
                  ); 
 
print($message->sid);

GOOD HACKING .
