When using a third-party product with any Microsoft product it usually spells trouble and you know some rough times are ahead – especially in this case where I was trying to retrieve a list of accounts on Dynamics CRM via SOAP and PHP.

Here we have a sample demo of sending and receiving SMS (text messages) in real-time using APE’s libape_controller. We also utilize an SMS gateway called Esendex which is a UK based company – hence the name EsenAPE. When a message is sent to Esendex (e.g. you reply to the text you sent yourself) it will call a URL (RPC.php) we can then pass this onto APE for updating the users UI. The idea originated from a project I’ve just completed with work, Alert and Respond which basically does what this demo does but not in real time (polls every 30 seconds). It’s a good example of how to use the libape_controller – let me know what you think
