Neat idea. If you've got free SMS and a computer built in to the car already, then why the heck not? I was going to do this once I got my "Empeg Car" unit (ARM CPU and Linux), but never got around to it. If the SMSC is available via IP, then the way to do this in PHP is probably to use an existing SMPP daemon with which PHP communicates using fsockopen(). It should be trivially easy to implement SNPP things and issue AT commands. If you're actually going to have to initiate telephone calls, then you probably want to use PHP only to wrap an existing SNPP client, like Qpage (1), or Hylafax's "sendpage" (2). > Development platform is windows 2000. Of course, I'd do it in some flavour of unix, probably FreeBSD. I wouldn't dream of implementing something like this on a gaming OS. Next, we'll be running SQL servers on our Playstations.... ;) (1) http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?manpath=ports&query=qpage (2) http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?manpath=ports&query=sendpage -- Paul Chvostek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Operations / Abuse / Whatever it.canada, hosting and development http://www.it.ca/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
