PHP Sample

<?php
  $apiKey = "[Your API Key]";
  $apiSecret = "[Your Api Secret]";
  $url = "https://apix.aerialink.net/v4/messages/";

  $data = array();
  $data["source"] = "[Aerialink Number]";
  $data["destination"] = "[Mobile Number]";
  $data["messageText"] = "Aerialink Send a Message Test";

  //Send the message
  http_post($url,$data,$apiKey,$apiSecret);

  function http_post($url,$data,$username,$password){
    //open connection
    $ch = curl_init($url);
    //set the url, number of POST vars, POST data
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url);
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST,count($data));
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$data);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $username.":".$password);
    //execute post
    $result = curl_exec($ch);
    //close connection
    curl_close($ch);
    return $result;
