Question

I have a small application written in PHP and a mysql database hosted on a remote server. The database structure is like following:

id      name            password
001    Bon Jovi          123 
002    Charlie Sheen     456

Now what I want to achieve is, I will SMS the id and password using my mobile phone (although I don’t know where exactly to send) to the server(in this case I don’t how it would be possible) and in return I want to know the name from my database.

Example: If I write 001,123 in my mobile’s message option and then send to my server(I don’t know how)and i want to get the name “Bon Jovi” as feed back.

Would you please kindly tell me if what I want to achieve is possible, and if then how?

Thanks in Advance 🙂

There are a few different options covered previously. Of those available, I think the leader at this point is Twilio, who provides a well thought out REST interface that allows you to send and receive SMS messages.

However see this thread for more ideas.
