SMS API - Send SMS to many numbers at a time

Send SMS to many numbers at a time

For Bulk sms (sms sending to many numbers at a time), better to use SMS API with http connection. In this example you will see how to use SMS API with PHP script for Bulk sms sending.
For bulk sms sending with PHP you can use curl. Just send php array or JSON data to SMS API link. How to prepare this array data?

If you try to insert all numbers to 'to' => "+125352352,+32324234,+234234" Nothing happens:
https://www.proovl.com/api/send.php?user=******&token=******&from=********&to=125352352,32324234,234234&text=hi

It's working only with 1 number:
https://www.proovl.com/api/send.php?user=******&token=******&from=********&to=125352352&text=hi
WRONG sample:

$postfields = array(
'user' => "user",
'token' => "token",
'to' => "+125352352,+32324234,+234234", // WRONG, Nothing happens
'text' => "$text $created"
);

How to send BULK sms to many numbers at a time?
You can use foreach php function.

foreach ($to as $to_x => $to_y){

$text = "Hello $to_x";

$postfields = array(
'user' => "user",
'token' => "token",
'to' => "$to_y",
'text' => "$text"

If you want make personalized bulk sms sending. You can include names to each sms.

$to = array("Andy" => "4444139833", "Jhon" => "4444255324", "Mike" => "4444366244" );

foreach ($to as $to_x => $to_y){

$text = "Hello $to_x!";

$postfields = array(
'user' => "user",
'token' => "token",
'to' => "$to_y",

}

$user = "*****"; // SMS API USER ID
$token = "*******"; // SMS API TOKEN

$url = "https://www.proovl.com/api/send.php";

$text = "Hello $to_x!";

$postfields = array(
'user' => "user",
'token' => "token",
'from' => "$from",
'to' => "$to_y",
'text' => "$text"
);

if (!$curld = curl_init()) {
exit;
}

curl_setopt($curld, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($curld, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postfields);
curl_setopt($curld, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($curld, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

$output = curl_exec($curld);
