So I've got a web application, let's say with 2 sub domains a.domain.com and b.domain.com
If there is an update on "a" -they currently get an email, and have to sign in to the website and do something. Is there a way (maybe through Twilio??) that I could do this via SMS?
Basically:
1 - There's a user update to "a.subdomain.com"
2 - The 'owner' of "a" gets an SMS asking for 'yes' or 'no' (the sms could be sent via PHP, or twilio perhaps?)
3 - The 'owner' replys 'yes' and This happens. if they reply 'no', nothing happens.
this is essentially a MySQL database change, changing a pst_stt to one of three values, and pst_dte to PHP's date(Y-m-d) function.
I know I can send the text via SMS.
Is there a way to RECEIVE and do something if it's received? All without "b.domain.com" being affected? something like, "a" set's their phone number to be '555-5555'. That number get's a text asking yes or no. They send yes ->
$text = (((the reply text received)));
$sender = (((the senders phone number)));
$phone = option('phone_number', 'options-page');
if($text == 'yes' && $sender === $phone){
/*Do the simple Database update*/
}
I don't believe there is a way to receive SMS via php... so would something like Twilio do what I need?
