    can php respond to events? (immediately respond when and SMS is received)

    I'd like to write an web application that auto-responds to SMS text
    messages. so the idea is: a user sends an SMS to the server and the
    server immdiately returns a preset string to the sender.

    is that possible with php?

      It depends how the text messages are delivered to the server. I have
      it running here with a CDMA modem and it works fine. Depends also on
      the country.

      Generally, its easily possible, if you have access to cron jobs.

      HTH, Jochen
