I'm trying to build a "simple" phone verification function in PHP that takes a phone number from a form, sends a SMS to user to check if the number is real and theirs.
I'm in desperate need of some tutorials or any piece of information to guide me to accomplish this.
I found this, but I dont seem to manage further in building something.
Twilio developer evangelist here.
Authy is our API that deals with phone number verification.
Check out the documentation for the Authy PHP library and the bits on phone verification.
I recommend that you try building something before asking more questions on SO. Start with a form in which you can get a user to input their phone number and then read that phone number on the survey. Then get yourself a free Twilio/Authy account and try to install the Authy PHP library. Then make the request to the Authy API to start a phone verification and build a form to take the user's response and submit to a new PHP file that reads their response and uses the Authy API to check the code they enter.
If you get stuck at any of those points, then come back to Stack Overflow and ask a specific question about where you are stuck.
That's about as much as I can help with right now. Hope it goes well for you. If you do have questions and you tag them twilio or authy then I will likely see and be able to help.

i want to create a user registration by sms verification. after entering mobile number in my website(php) will send(and also will be stored to database against user id) a random 4 or 6 digit code to users number. then user will have to enter that code to my websites confirmation page. then it will check that code with the stored code in the database. if it matches then user is verified. I want to know what will be the cheapest sms service i can use in india ? if there are any free ervice like this then it will be good(atleast for testing).
There are many message API providers in india. If you are looking for free service then it is not possible now a days. As per my knowledge and experience you can go with Idea cellular message Api. It is very fast and efficient in india. I dont know adjuct cost for that but you can find it in idea official website.
Every Api provider gives you some free messages for testing purpose so that you can check that api with your code. If you need any further help then contact me.

I need to do a MASSIVE data mine. I want to find out;
A users location
Look at their tweets for specific words in the last two days
Repeat (ideally) for every twitter user
I've seen R recommended somewhere, but wouldn't really know where to begin.
Happy with CSV, json or SQL endpoint.
As you tagged "python" in your question, I'm going to assume you're ok with it ! Twitter lets you access its data by two APIs :
REST API allows you to make specific user requests (profile, friends, etc.), but it only allows a few queries per hour, so it probably does not meet your "massive data" criterion
The streaming API delivers tweets based on a search on real-time. You can definitely harvest massive data using this API, and if I remember correctly, tweets come up with useful infos (user who tweeted of course, but probably location too if enabled).
Tweepy (http://www.tweepy.org/) is a user-friendly Python library implementing both Twitter APIs, providing particularly helpful functions for capturing data from the streaming API (see examples here : https://github.com/tweepy/examples).

I'm looking to implement Twitter into an internal existing system. I need to use several features of the API (such as mentions) that require authorization.
From my understanding, this can only be used with a Twitter application, and as such I've created one.
However it all seams very public facing, asking for details like website URL, and application description, which in my case I do not need or want.
I simply need to authorize my system to make calls to the API, am I going about it the right way?
If not, is there a certain PHP library / alternative way of getting autorized? I can't imagine i'm first in this situation?
Thanks!
You'll need to provide these details so Twitter knows what kind of application you're building. If your application is not going to publish any tweets, that's entirely fine; if you're simply making GET requests, your application information won't be published anywhere.
If you don't have a public-facing URL for your application, you can enter a placeholder or a fake URL.

I'm looking for a subscribe/unsubscribe mailing list to install on my website.
Requirements:
PHP/MySQL;
Cron job: uses scheduling to send email in batches;
Multiple languages: when user is subscribing, they need to select preferred language from a drop-down;
Send in both HTML/Text;
Bounce-email check;
Double opt-in: user must confirm email before being subscribed.
Unsubscribe link: being able to unsubscribe by following a link in the email.
Any suggestions? Could be paid license as well (maximum $40). However, I'm not interested in hosted services with monthly fees.
Thanks!
Maybe have a go with List Messenger? http://www.listmessenger.com/ It's not great, but it is pretty well featured and it's all in PHP so you can hack it about if you want to.
http://phplist.com/ comes to mind
There is a number of PHP mailing list applications around, and to my surprise, almost all turned out to be total crap. At least the open source ones.
The only free one that I have used myself and was happy with is PoMMO. I don't think it can do cron-powered batch sending, and I'm not sure about automated bounce handling, but the rest should be achievable: You can create custom signup forms so language selection shouldn't be a problem (and later, putting subscribers into groups according to the selection).
It seems to have been inactive since 2008, and the back-end template needs a bit of reworking to look good in Firefox, but it has been a reliable workhorse.
Anyway. The PHPList project #Gordon suggests looks more active, which is always good in a public-facing software. Maybe try that first.

I am looking to write a small application that receives an SMS text message and records the results in an online database. I am most comfortable with php/mysql, but can use any suggestions you might have.
I wrote something cute and small like this last summer, but I cheated using an actual SMS server and used Twitter to receive my text messages in a specific format, then had a daemon service running through my RSS feed every n time units to pull in the data and store it in a flat file. It was a fun exercise, and free, and as far as I know no free SMS receivers are available. You can use MySQL if you want, but I feel like you'll need a language that's more designed for writing a service than a web application (i.e. PHP)
I've used clickatell for setting up SMS notification for Nagios. Never used them to receive text message though. My guess is you probably give them some magic URL and they hit it up with with a POST containing all the data in the message.
You'll ever find anything that is free though. In fact, you might find that SMS is rather expensive if you do a lot of volume. Even $0.01/message is a lot when you are sending 10k messages a week.
If you are looking to setup your own server, then you can make use of gnokii. You will have to physically connect a Nokia mobile phone and once you receive the messages, you can add them to a database.
