I have just checked+tested your script and your for loop works perfectly. However the 2 breaks; in your switch command may be prevent the for loop from working. I would suggest finding an alternative to using the switch command.

What does $returnCode actually contain?

$returnCode = (int)curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
        switch($returnCode){
            case 404:
                $result = 'ERROR -> 404 Not Found';
                break;
            default:
                break;
        }

I would suggest replacing the above with the below if it just has a number.

$returnCode = (int)curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
        if ($returnCode==404 || $returnCode=='404'){
                $result = 'ERROR -> 404 Not Found';
        }

If it returns the following and never returns 404 then that would make the switch statement useless.

Total time for request: 0.308465003967 XXXXXXXXXX3738246550#Messages Sent1

So I would suggest trying what I suggested in my previous post as it should work.

I tested it and it worked in my tests but worked too well. It only reports 404 errors and if you got a 500 error then it would not be reported.

$returnCode = (int)curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
        switch($returnCode){
            case 404:
                $result = 'ERROR -> 404 Not Found';
                break;
            default:
                break;
        }

Replace the above with the below:

$returnCode = (int)curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
        if ($returnCode!==200 || $returnCode!=='200'){
                $result = 'ERROR -> Status '.$returnCode;
        }

I am Try Your above suggestion but my problem not solved.
and also this never return '404 Error' because this is an SMS getway application.

When i am Try your suggest above code then it give me below error:

Total time for request: 0.225823163986 ERROR -> Status 200

Weird. Should have worked. :?:
Below is another piece of code you can try and hopefully it should work.

$returnCode = (int)curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
        if ($returnCode!=='200' || $returnCode!==200 ||$returnCode>200 || $returnCode<200
|| $returnCode!==(int)200 ||$returnCode>(int)200 || $returnCode<(int)200){
                $result = 'ERROR -> Status '.$returnCode;
        }

I believe it is the break; code in the switch statement. That is why I suggested replacing it with an if statement. But obviousley there is something fishy going on with the $returnCode variable.

hemgoyal_1990 5 Junior Poster · Answer 8 · 2009-09-09T19:05:17+00:00

i am complitly remove the error handling code.
but this is not work. it only send sms to first number give any number.
am replace my code to another one script....

<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit']))
{
$message = $_POST['message'];
$number = $_POST['mobile_no'];
$numbers = explode(",", $number);
$i = 0;
while ($i < count($numbers))
{
	 // XML data as string 
$request = "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1' ?>"; 
$request .= "<push>"; 
$request .= "<from>test$apikey</from>"; 
$request .= "<gsm>TEST</gsm>"; 
$request .= "<cdma>9876543210</cdma>"; 
$request .= "<message>$message</message>"; 
$request .= "<mobileno>"; 
$request .= "<nos>$numbers[$i]</nos>"; 
$request .= "</mobileno>";
$request .= "</push>";

// Create Headers 
$header[] = "Host: www.example.com"; 
$header[] = "Content-type: text/xml"; 
$header[] = "Content-length: ".strlen($request) . "\r\n"; 
$header[] = $request;

// Send using CURL 
$ch = curl_init(); 
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://api.znisms.com/post/xmlsmsv3.asp"); // URL to post 
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1 ); // return into a variable 
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $header ); // headers from above 
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'POST' ); // special POST with specified Content-type 
$result = curl_exec( $ch ); // runs the post 
curl_close($ch);

echo $result; // echo reply response
	$i++;
	   
	}
	}
?>

But it not provide me any result.
