Hello,
Im a comp sci student from Mumbai . I need some help with regards to a project im planning to do . The project involves an application on the server side which records orders made by a user . A user can send his order details by sending an sms to a particular number . When the order is received, the system sends a confirmation sms back to the user. I indend to develop the backend system on Linux platform using PHP . But i have no idea as to how the sms communication part would work . I have heard of some open source sms gateway packages like Kannel, but dont have exact idea of how it can be applied in the above scenario . Will this involve purchasing a service from some wireless operator ? .
Any helps or tips as to how the above system can be implemented would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
