I was considering purchasing IntelliSMS but was wondering about the functionality with my PHP form handler. The clients mobile number is a required form field and as the PHP form is passed across my server after submit I want a text to the clients email immediately i.e. "we have received your application, blah,blah" does IntelliSMS offer this facility and if so what should I be buying as I note there's about 4 opptions on the home page.

Here is a PHP script for sending SMS messages form a web form. This script submits SMS messages to the IntelliSoftware SMS Gateway using the HTTP Protocol. This script was kindly provided to IntelliSoftware by Torstein Sorlid.

Try inserting the line below:

function sendSMS($username, $password, $recipients, $message) // Multiple recipients must be comma-separated
{
    $message="$message%0D%0AMy Signature";   //Add Signature

    // URL encode message to allow for linebreaks, convert CRLF to simple linebreak
    $message=str_replace("%0D%0A", "%0A", urlencode($message));

To add a Sender's ID of 'Internet' simply edit the following line:

    // Create URL
    $url="http://www.intellisoftware.co.uk/smsgateway/sendmsg.aspx?username=$username&password=$password&to=$recipients&text=$message&from=Internet";

By recieving the ID you can assume the message as being sent.

I know but the ID it not useful, I need something to not display the ID, only a simple text "Message Sent".How can I not receive the resposne and put that simple text?

A simply if statement and a string compare should do the trick. You should be able to find suitable resources on the internet to help you with PHP programming.

I think I got it here is the code, can you try it for me:
Put it after
$result=fread($dh,8192);
return print $notification= "Message Sent ID";
