I've got a similiar problem to him (i.e. the same error message) in the past and I was using it on Vodafone but it appeared to happen randomly.
i just noticed a problem like that earlier today with 00353 and vodafone and i was just about to investigate it
that error message is a bit misleading unfortunately because it could mean a few things but i've just finished v1.5 and it's clearer now. i'll be posting about it shortly0 -

anyway, i've finished 1.5. not a whole lot of changes but:
- on the accounts screen the exit button has been replace with back as requested
- the accounts now appear in alphabetical order
- you can add a signature (leave the sig blank not to add one)
- when sending a group text, the cabbage contact names show up on the "Sending to..." screen instead of just the numbers
- you can delete recently texted numbers individually instead of just all at once
- now if you're not sure if a text sent, you can press options->recent texts->find the text in question->press options->view and below the time stamp is the response that was given (eg "Message sent. 200 messages left" or "could not connect to network site"). a problem with this is that if you cut the program off before it finishes sending it won't be stored so you can't restore it when you open the program again. but i thought of that . on the text screen you can press options->restore last sent and the last message will come back whether you let it finish sending or not
- the phone numbers for group texts don't show up on the recently texted numbers anymore. if you want to send to the same group, on the send to many screen press options->restore previous
you can try it out at http://cabbagetexter.com/dl1.5
i'm not going to update the website until a few people have tried it out and confirmed it's stable0 -

ok but only because you asked so nicely :rolleyes::pac:You got around to putting version numbers or datestamps or something into the scripts yet for those who host their own?
if you look here:
http://cabbagetexter.com/source.php
you'll see a date stamp on the sending scripts and in send.php in the zip file there's a matching date stamp. that'll €500 please

Hey Sam, been working on editing your script for a few hours now (that's how long it takes me
) but it seems ok now, check it out here: http://www.vantasks.ie/indextester
I'm not sure what to do with the page it goes to once it sends, and I'm not sure, but what happens if it can't connect and send the text, is there any way to say "sending failed" so they aren't waiting for a callback that I never got the request for
That's a pretty nifty little thing anyway, thanks a mill!0 -

i'm not sure what would take a few hours tbh. say your phone number is 0871234567, your password is cormie and your network is o2, all you'd have to do is set the first four lines to:
$u="0871234567";
$p="cormie";
$s="o"; //v=vodafone o=o2 m=meteor
$d="0871234567";
and that's it. i just tried it out there and i can see there's an error because your server has safe mode switched on so i've made a small change to get rid of it. upload the files attached to this post.
if it succeeds, it prints "request sent" to the screen. if it fails, it prints "request failed" to the screen or as is happening right now because the o2 website is down, it prints:Service Unavailable.
Technical description:
504 Gateway Time-out - The web server is not responding
if you want something else to happen other than just saying request sent or request failed, find those lines in the file and put whatever you want there.0 -

Oh I had that part set up easy, but to get rid of one of the boxes, to find out how to stretch the box to fit all the text and to find out how to have text in the box and disappear and then reappear once you click out, that's what took me ages :pac:
ah i see
have you uploaded the new one and has it fixed the error?0 -

Great, seems to be working perfect now. I used another o2 sim I had instead of my own just for security. Although would I be better off using a vodafone sim so there's not as many failed requests as on the o2 server :rolleyes:
So do I just build a page around it, or it into a page? I'd like a page like this to come up once it's sent with the request sent or request failed in the centre above the price promise.
I deleted some number lines from the config file because I'm only using the one field, the name one, it seems to be working fine anyway
Just to let you know, don't is coming to my phone as don\'t.0 -

now proper answers
yes you'd be better off using any login other than o2 for obvious reasons
i've attached a new one that redirects to that page on your site if it succeeds and an imaginary page called "whateveryourfailedpageis" if it fails that you can update yourself. it's this bit:if($res>=0 && $res<=300){ header('Location: http://www.vantasks.ie/index.php?page=14'); //print '<html><head><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;url=http://www.vantasks.ie/index.php?page=14"></head></body></html>'; } else{ header('Location: http://www.vantasks.ie/index.php?page=whateveryourfailedpageis'); //print '<html><head><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;url=http://www.vantasks.ie/index.php?page=whateveryourfailedpageis"></head></body></html>'; }
in each if statement there are two lines that do pretty much the same thing, one of which is commented. the uncommented way works best because the user never realises he was redirected but it can have problems. if your server prints anything, eg an error report, before the header function is called it'll fail. if that starts to happen, uncomment the commented one and vice versa. it works just as well but the page goes white for a second.
if it comes to needing to do it, you'll most likely only have to do it for the failed case because there wouldn't be any error logs if it succeeds and so no problem
as for the don\'t problem, it's a php oddity that's fixed by the stripslashes function that i have now added at the appropriate places
i also took out reference to the "Phone number" text box because you weren't using it
also, probably a more reliable way to do this would be to have the form email you and then forward your email to your phone but then you'd need a data plan0 -

None that are free. SMSC's cost money and people aren't going to give it away for free when it's cost them a lot of money 0 -

Hey Sam,
That's brilliant! Thanks a million, it's working perfectly even with apostrophes
I haven't set up a failed page yet but I'll do that soon, but hopefully vodafone wont fail too much. So I don't have to adjust anything with the commented if's since it worked first time now yeah? That should mean my server takes it ok yeah?
Gav, is it free or convenience you want? With o2, after you've used the 250, you can still send them from your desktop, but you'll be charged 10c a text. If you want to send a ridiculous amount of texts, you could try sign up for O2 release which is 99+VAT a month for unltd calls and texts, you'll need to be self employed though I think.
Sam, for some reason when I go to vantasks, the text box text is spaced out more than it should be, I set the size to fit the text perfectly but sometimes it's distorted for some reason, would you have any clue what that's about?
