    Hi Guys,

    I'm setting up an SMS interface using this class (http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/file/5564.html) and would like to be able to get a client message id into the class.

    In here 
    $comm = sprintf ("%s/sendmsg?session_id=%s&to=%s&from=%s&text=%s&callback=%s%s",
    Code (markup):
    I need to be able to add &climsgid=xxx where xxx is the unique message id.

    To use the class I simply have to use 
    $results = $mysms->send($_POST['to'],$_POST['from'],$_POST['message']);
    Code (markup):
    and I want to be able to add the message id in here.

    I hope this makes sense to someone. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    I looked at them and they looked more expensive. 3.5p (AUD$0.08) for SMS in Australia where clickatell is only 6c at the lower volume rate, and cheaper for volume purchase.

    Thanks for the suggestion though

    I edited line 156 to add the extra parameter:
        function send($to=null, $from=null, $text=null, $climsgid=null) {
    PHP:
    Lines 188-196 now look like this:

          $comm = sprintf ("%s/sendmsg?session_id=%s&to=%s&from=%s&text=%s&climsgid=%s&callback=%s%s",
         $this->base,
         $this->session,
         rawurlencode($to),
         rawurlencode($from),
         rawurlencode($text),
         rawurlencode($climsgid),
         $this->callback,
         $concat
    PHP:
    and to call it, you should now do:

    $results = $mysms->send($_POST['to'],$_POST['from'],$_POST['message'], $climsgid);
    PHP:
    As far as I can tell, that should be the only edits necessary to support the extra variable you want. Let me know how it works.

    omgitsfletch you are a legend. Thanks so much for your help. I knew it would be fairly straight forward but I'm still trying to get my head around OO programming and classes.

    Thanks heaps.

    Heh, well luckily in this case, it was a lot more work just modifying the class function than actually changing the class. If you go to php.net/sprintf, you'll find out a bit more on what that command is doing. Those %s represent variables, and the whole purpose of sprintf() is having variables out of the actual string to make it easier to understand. So it was just a matter of adding a variable, and putting it in the appropriate order underneath the sprintf().

    If you have any other problems, feel free to PM me. I'm here to help.
