i am looking for a phone number verification using php ?

Phone number verification?

If this is to verify the number exists then you need a service which provides this info. PHP cannot do this on its own.

A quick googley came up with this...

I think php cannot do this on its own. So if you guys have any information regarding this please let me know.

like i said, PHP cannot do this. You need a service

You can have the values inserted into a database, then run a check to see if they are there or not. You can do that with PHP, but you'll (first) have to have these numbers inserted into the database.

Explain exactly what YOU mean by "phone number verification"

to *send SMS's*

I use a service called kapow.

You buy credits (1) credit per SMS.

Then your PHP script just calls their PHP script with numbers and data in the headers.

Done.


If its a valid number it gets sent, If it isnt, it doesnt get sent and you dont loose a credit.

Yep problem being the title says one thing and the post asks for something else.

Does the OP want to:

Validate the numerical format of the number?

or

Verify that the number actually exists and belongs to the person filling the form in?

ah, I would like to learn a bit more about SMS as well.

To send SMS you will need to use a SMS gateway service.

OR
Plug your phone in via the USB and have a script you can call that can talk to it ( probably a bit too advanced )

You can send SMS for free by simply emailing a special email address provided by the mobile carrier. You need 3 things:

1. The user's mobile number.
2. The user's mobile carrier.
3. You must inform the user that they may be charged by their carrier for receiving the SMS.

Here is a list of mobile SMS gateways and the format of the email addresses.

There are tons of great sites and also more tons of specific pages that need to be bookmarked.

I read a while ago, there was a way to interface magic jack, with a website, to send sms messages.

forget where I read it. But if it worked, it would give a magic jack a purpose as the call quality on the thing sucks *** lol.
