Hey, you might want to check out SMSServer, which is part of SMSLib, the basis of FrontlineSMS's capabilities, which lets you do straight-up HTTP messages back and forth, between PHP or any other language you want.

I will, thanks! I only thought up this hack after some unsuccessful attempts to download/unpack slingshot sms.

Yeah... I need to reupload one of the distributions, since GItHub is a big disappointment when it comes to reliability. This download works, and if you know a little Python you can try it in code. If you run into any problems, I'm keeping track of the issue tracker on GitHub and in my own fork.

Hi Vishnu,

 

I was just wondering if you were able to integrate the Frontline SMS into a web application. If so please provide me how you did it ?

 

Thanks,

Hi Kavitha,

 

Take a look at the HTTP Trigger plugin - should do the job!
