Coding newby here.
I am trying to write some PHP code to enable SMS forwarding to email with a Twilio phone number. Unfortunately, I haven't had any success in doing so.
I saw some tutorials using SendGrid, but I would rather use my own PHP code on my web server.
Can anyone point me to a good source or if possible, provide step by step instructions?
Thank you

There is a "forward SMS to email" quick deploy here where you don't need a server--Twilio will host it for you!
This is how you could do it with PHP:
<?php
/**
* This section ensures that Twilio gets a response.
*/
header('Content-type: text/xml');
echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>';
echo '<Response></Response>'; //Place the desired response (if any) here
/**
* This section actually sends the email.
*/
/* Your email address */
$to = "[email protected]";
$subject = "Message from {$_REQUEST['From']} at {$_REQUEST['To']}";
$message = "You have received a message from {$_REQUEST['From']}. Body: {$_REQUEST['Body']}";
$headers = "From: [email protected]"; // Who should it come from?
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
To make that code above work,
From
and To
email addresses.If you're a Node.js person, here is a tutorial that uses Twilio Functions, Twilio's serverless environment for hosting web (Node) apps.
Let me know if this helps at all!
