Hi,

I'm currently developing a website for a client and they want their support system to send them an SMS Message if the ticket priority is high, so they can act on it immediately.

The way the client has setup the SMS Service is via a querystring passed to their sms gateway's API.

Code:

Example: 

http://sms.gateway.com/SMSSend?user=username&pass=password&smsto=sendingtonumber&smsfrom=sendingfromID&report=1

I need to somehow execute the above querystring for it to send an sms, and the operator will return an SMS ID number if it is successful.

I'm new to the SMS Service area so i'm not sure how to go about this.

If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated as it will save me subcontracting this area of the website, thus saving time and money.

thanks

Craig

You have to make an http call to the mentioned URL from server side and pass the parameters. It is pretty simple. You can use ither microsoft built in component XMLHTTP or any thord party component for making the http connection with ASP. Take a lokk @ the article below for details.

cheers m8y i cracked that one earlier

'Send the message
        set objHttp = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
        objHttp.open "GET", "http://sms.gateway.com/SMSSend?" & zSMSAPI, false
        objHttp.setRequestHeader "Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
        objHttp.Send
            strResponseTxt = trim(objHTTP.responseText)
        Set objHTTP = nothing

Thats how i managed it, but thanks for replying :)
