The documentation for the Twilio API can be found here.
The PHP library documentation can be found here.
twilio-php
uses a modified version of Semantic Versioning for all changes. See this document for details.
On January 1, 2020, Twilio will no longer support PHP version 5.X, 7.0, and 7.1 via this helper library. Please see this issue for details.
This library supports the following PHP implementations:
- PHP 7.2
- PHP 7.3
- PHP 7.4
You can install twilio-php via composer or by downloading the source.
twilio-php is available on Packagist as the
twilio/sdk
package:
composer require twilio/sdk
// Send an SMS using Twilio's REST API and PHP
<?php
$sid = "ACXXXXXX"; // Your Account SID from www.twilio.com/console
$token = "YYYYYY"; // Your Auth Token from www.twilio.com/console
$client = new Twilio\Rest\Client($sid, $token);
$message = $client->messages->create(
'8881231234', // Text this number
array(
'from' => '9991231234', // From a valid Twilio number
'body' => 'Hello from Twilio!'
)
);
print $message->sid;
<?php
$sid = "ACXXXXXX"; // Your Account SID from www.twilio.com/console
$token = "YYYYYY"; // Your Auth Token from www.twilio.com/console
$client = new Twilio\Rest\Client($sid, $token);
// Read TwiML at this URL when a call connects (hold music)
$call = $client->calls->create(
'8881231234', // Call this number
'9991231234', // From a valid Twilio number
array(
'url' => 'https://twimlets.com/holdmusic?Bucket=com.twilio.music.ambient'
)
);
To control phone calls, your application needs to output TwiML.
Use Twilio\TwiML\(Voice|Messaging|Fax)Response
to easily chain said responses.
<?php
$response = new Twilio\TwiML\VoiceResponse();
$response->say('Hello');
$response->play('https://api.twilio.com/cowbell.mp3', array("loop" => 5));
print $response;
That will output XML that looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Response>
<Say>Hello</Say>
<Play loop="5">https://api.twilio.com/cowbell.mp3</Play>
</Response>
The Dockerfile
present in this repository and its respective twilio/twilio-php
Docker image are currently used by Twilio for testing purposes only.
