Call a url from a php script

[Anon]

Hi,

I need to request the following url from within a php script:

http://127.0.0.1:11111/cgi-bin/sendsms?to=1234&message=test

I don't need to look at the results from the request, as there is none. Just run it.

As you can guess this is a GSM mobile short message sender. I want to run this url request for each entry in a list and from within a php script.

How can I do this? I'm very new to this. I've manage to get a sql data list/query/add/remove script working but now need to write an sms sender to work.

Help?

thanks a million.

why don't you just put the file you want to include into the file?

while(whatever)
{
file("http://127.0.0.1:11111/cgi-bin/sendsms?to=1234&message=test");
}

I can't include it because its not a real file. It only exists in a server process, you can only call it via http.

cheers
