You would need an SMS provider (such as http://www.2sms.com/ - they are in an office block close to me and hence come to mind), then there should be a way to tie into that (probably an XML web service) which of course PHP can be used to send data to.. I think that's right anyway.

Here is an example of a function that im using for talking to a SMS gateway api..

It's not CI-ified, but it would probably give you a taste.

The SMS gateway provider will probably also give you some technical info on how to connect and manage their API or whatever.

Code:

<?php
function SendSms($sender, $recipients, $message, $priceGroup, $flash)
{
    $CID = "xxx";
    $password = "xxxxx";
    
    if (!is_numeric($priceGroup) || !is_numeric($flash))
        return "priceGroup and flash must be a number";

    $serverRequest = "http://the.smsprovider.com/api.ext";
    $serverRequest .= "?CID=".$CID;
    $serverRequest .= "&Password;=".$password;
    if (is_numeric($sender))
        $serverRequest .= "&fromNumber;=".$sender;
    else
        $serverRequest .= "&fromAlpha;=".$sender;
    $serverRequest .= "&recipient;=".$recipients;
    $serverRequest .= "&Msg;=".urlencode($message);
    $serverRequest .= "&priceGroup;=".$priceGroup;
    $serverRequest .= "&flash;=".$flash;
    
    $serverResult = file_get_contents($serverRequest);
    
    if (!$serverResult)
         return "Returned error while trying to connect to gateway";

    $xml = simplexml_load_string($serverResult);
    
    if ($xml->success == "true")
        $result = $xml->msgid;
    else
        $result = $xml->errormsg;

    return $result;
}
?>
