CURLOPT_POST
true to do a regular HTTP POST. This POST is the normal application/x-www-form-urlencoded kind, most commonly used by HTML forms.
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS
The full data to post in a HTTP “POST” operation. This parameter can either be passed as a URL-encoded string like ‘para1=val1¶2=val2&…’ or as an array with the field name as key and field data as value. If value is an array, the Content-Type header will be set to multipart/form-data. Files can be sent using CURLFile, in which case value must be an array.
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER
false to stop cURL from verifying the peer’s certificate. Alternate certificates to verify against can be specified with the CURLOPT_CAINFO option or a certificate directory can be specified with the CURLOPT_CAPATH option.
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER
true to return the transfer as a string of the return value of curl_exec() instead of outputting it directly.
curl_exec
Perform a cURL session
curl_close
Close a cURL session
You can change the requested parameters as per your SMS API.
