• Grab your free Access token from the dashboard by click the "Token ID" and download the ready made PHP script from the below link address.
• Download Latest Ready Made API Integrated PHP Script.
• Upload the script to your web server using FTP. If you are using localhost with Xampp then move the file to Htdocs folder.

<?php
$token = 'Your Token Here';
$mobile = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['phone']);
$msg = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['message']);
$site = 'Your Site Address Here';
$url = "http://api.fast2sms.com/sms.php?token=".$token."&mob=".$mobile."&mess=".$msg."&sender=".$site."&route=0";
$homepage = file_get_contents($url);
