Via Composer:

twilio-php is available on Packagist as the twilio/sdk package.

Quickstart

Send an SMS

// Send an SMS using Twilio's REST API and PHP
<?php
$sid = "ACXXXXXX"; // Your Account SID from www.twilio.com/console
$token = "YYYYYY"; // Your Auth Token from www.twilio.com/console

$client = new Twilio\Rest\Client($sid, $token);
$message = $client->messages->create(
  '8881231234', // Text this number
  array(
    'from' => '9991231234', // From a valid Twilio number
    'body' => 'Hello from Twilio!'
  )
);

print $message->sid;

Make a Call

<?php
$sid = "ACXXXXXX"; // Your Account SID from www.twilio.com/console
$token = "YYYYYY"; // Your Auth Token from www.twilio.com/console

$client = new Twilio\Rest\Client($sid, $token);

// Read TwiML at this URL when a call connects (hold music)
$call = $client->calls->create(
  '8881231234', // Call this number
  '9991231234', // From a valid Twilio number
  array(
      'url' => 'http://twimlets.com/holdmusic?Bucket=com.twilio.music.ambient'
  )
);

Generating TwiML

To control phone calls, your application needs to output TwiML. Use Twilio\Twiml to easily create such responses.

<?php
$response = new Twilio\Twiml();
$response->say('Hello');
$response->play('https://api.twilio.com/cowbell.mp3', array("loop" => 5));
print $response;

That will output XML that looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Response>
    <Say>Hello</Say>
    <Play loop="5">https://api.twilio.com/cowbell.mp3</Play>
<Response>
