free SMS to RSS converter Project

Post categories:

Ian Forrester Ian Forrester | 10:57 UK time, Friday, 13 October 2006

I've noticed a lot of interest in the discussion groups about SMS applications. This script converts an SMS (text message) to a valid RSS 2.0 feed. It's developed using a free textback service offered by www.aql.co.uk .
A properly formatted SMS(see instructions) sent to 07766 40 41 42 is read by the aql server. It's then converted to a HTTP $_GET request which sends the phone number and message to a MySQL database via a PHP script on my server. You can then call an RSS feed to see the message at https://www.blears.net/vox/feed/rss.php
There are loads of possible developer uses for this including, blogs, message boards and voting type aps.
