Integrating SMS Function With Registration

Replies: 0

I’ve wrapped the basic Twilio SMS sending method into a function in a must-use plugin. I’ve added a form in the admin screen to retrieve a list of users’ and their numbers and can successfully send ($_POST) a message to the user chosen.

function sendtext() {
// Account SID and Auth Token from Twilio
$message_body = $_POST['message_body'];
$receiver = $_POST['receiver'];
$my_number = get_option( 'twilio_number' );
$sid = get_option( 'twilio_account' );
$token = get_option( 'twilio_auth_token' );
$client = new Client($sid, $token);

$client->messages->create(
    // the number you'd like to send the message to
    $receiver,
    array(
        'from' => $my_number,
        // the body of the text message you'd like to send
        'body' => $message_body
    )
);
}

THE PROBLEM is calling the same function from my registration screen (script), to which I’ve added fields for mobile number and country.

Just below the wp_mail() can to send the password change message, I’ve added a reference to the sendtext() function. I have separate numbers for Canada and the USA so I’ve attempted like below to route variables to the sendtext() object but each time I get an error that a message could not be sent because a “To: number” was not included. (But a look at the user profile shows that the number is saved.) $receiver is the “To:” of the error message.

$user_country = $user->country;
$receiver = $user->tel;
/* Send Text to new user*/
 if ($user_country == 'CA'){
   $my_number = get_option( 'twilio_number' );
   $sid = get_option( 'twilio_account' );
   $token = get_option( 'twilio_auth_token' );
 }
 if ($user_country == 'USA'){
   $my_number = get_option( 'twilio_number_usa' );
   $sid = get_option( 'twilio_account_usa' );
   $token = get_option( 'twilio_auth_token' );
 }
  $my_number = $my_number;
  $sid = $sid;
  $token = $token;
  $receiver = $receiver;
  $message_body = $message;
 if(!empty($message)){
  sendtext();
 }

I’d expect a notice that no message was added but not “no TO: number” since that’s from the user_meta and not a form.

Any help in the proper structuring would be more than appreciated.

Thanks.
