okay, here is the code

while (!feof($text)) {
    $name = fgets($text);
    $number = fgets($text);
    $carrier = fgets($text);
    $date = fgets($text);
    $line = fgets($text);


    $content = $_POST['message']; 

    $message .= $content; 
    $message .= "\n";
    $number = $number;


    mail("$number@vtext.com", "Event Alert", $message, "SGA"); 
    Header("Location: mailconf.php");
}

I am trying to get a message sent to a phone, I have ‘message’ coming in from a text area, and then I assign it to “$content” then I put “$content” into “$message” and then as you can see, in my mail line, I want the address to be the variable “number”@vtext.com I have the while loop because there are many people in these files I wish to send a message to…
When I change the “$number@vtext.com” to my email address, it sends everything fine, I just cannot seem to get it to send to a phone number, please help!
thanks!

    The problem is that fgets includes the newline character as part of the return. So you are effectively sending an email to:

    1234567890
    @vtext.com

    Which of course is invalid. Change your line that reads $number = $number to:

    $number = trim($number);

    And the rest of your code should function as expected, with the email being received on your phone.

    Part of my original answer

    I would highly recommend using a (probably paid) service to send SMS messages to phones if you need anything remotely reliable. A quick search yielded a few results:
