Whatsapp Messages from PHP

It is very simple to send WhatsApp messages from PHP using the cURL Library. I would recommend to create a function and then call to the function every time that you want to send a message.

First, create the function "send_whatsapp" in your php code as follow:

function send_whatsapp($message="Test"){
    $phone="+49123123123";  // Enter your phone number here
    $apikey="123456";       // Enter your personal apikey received in step 3 above

    $url='https://api.callmebot.com/whatsapp.php?source=php&phone='.$phone.'&text='.urlencode($message).'&apikey='.$apikey;

    if($ch = curl_init($url))
    {
        curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
        curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
        $html = curl_exec($ch);
        $status = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
        // echo "Output:".$html;  // you can print the output for troubleshooting
        curl_close($ch);
        return (int) $status;
    }
    else
    {
        return false;
    }
}

send_whatsapp("this is a test from PHP");    //Text message that your would like to send

$phone='+49123123123';
$apikey='123456';
$message='This is a test from PHP';

$url='https://api.callmebot.com/whatsapp.php?source=php&phone='.$phone.'&text='.urlencode($message).'&apikey='.$apikey;
$html=file_get_contents($url);
