First, I have created a website using PHP, MySQL,and Apache where people could register to create account and sign in.

Second, I have successfully created a database to store a list of 16 digits number.
To use the account, user needs to buy a reload coupon which consists of 16 digits number.

After that, he will need to send the series of number through mobile phone to the server and if the 16digits number matches the one in the database, money will be credited to the his account.

Could anyone tell me whether this task could be perform by using PHP? or I have to use other languages.

Thank you,

~Anise~

Yes, this can be done via PHP. It would work exactly the same as if this had been built for a browser except that the user would be accessing the pages through a phone instead. The only real difference you may want to take into consideration is that they'll be using a smaller screen to view the pages.

No, I don't mean the user will be accessing the page through a mobile phone.

He will send an SMS to the server ( I am using GSM Module to manage the SMS).

For example : he will send " 1111 2222 3333 4444" to 89898.

so, the GSM should be able to extract the 16 digits out from the SMS and compare it with the database.

Can you give advice on what language should I use to do this? PHP might be one of them I suppose.

Thanks a heap in advance.

PHP would be what I would use and what I'd recommend.

You know I keep seeing more and more plug-ins for php, didnt realise that there was a SMS handler (or GSM) - It's all very exciting stuff, I can hardly contain myself!

Like End User says Anise, PHP is brilliant and I'd also highly recommend it!
