This Code works fine for your small application where you want to send message through your website. Only thing you needed is an account on WAY2SMS . First create an account, then insert this code in your website and pass 4 argument to the function and just sit back and relax :), this code will do automatically everything for you..enjoy :)

Some Points to Remember...

1. Some lines are truncated in this webpage so keep track of  double quote("") and new lines.
2. You have to create a normal text file with the name cookie.txt and place it your local host or any folder and set absolute location of cookie file to $cookie_file_path_location variable. like this  $cookie_file_path_location ="/var/www/sms/cookie.txt";
   find Absolute path using php function realpath("your_cookie_fine_name");
   reference: http://php.net/manual/en/function.realpath.php
3. Cookie file must have full READ and WRITE permission. Give 777 permission in Linux and full read write permission in windows.
   reference :http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chmod  
4. Message length must be less than or equal to 140 character.
5. By repeating Code for sending SMS in loop, you can send same message for many time without login and logout.
6. Do not include '0' or '+91' before mobile number.
7. Before using this code make sure you have installed PHP CURL libraries libcurl. It is necessary for executing this script. 
   

   For installation of Curl related help follow: http://ritesh-chandora.blogspot.in/2012/04/install-setup-php-curl-in-linux-and.html
