Twilio php Library SDK 5 curl response body to get sid - php

Question

I am creating my own message logging when sending and receiving messages from/to twilio via the PHP REST api sdk 5. I want to get the message sid when sending a new message and digging around in the code I found I can get it from
Twilio\Http\CurlClient.php
line 36 starts:
36 list($head, $body) = ($parts[0] == 'HTTP/1.1 100 Continue')
37 ? array($parts[1], $parts[2])
38 : array($parts[0], $parts[1]);
I added line 39
39 $GLOBALS["curlResponseBody"] = $body;
so I can retrieve the json response which has an entry for 'sid' of the message just created.
There has go to be a method for getting that information but I just haven't seen it mentioned anywhere in respect to SDK5.
Here is the code I am using to create the message:
require_once 'Twilio/autoload.php'; // Loads the library
use Twilio\Rest\Client;
$client = new Client($account_sid, $auth_token);
$client->messages->create(
$toPhone,
array(
'from' => $fromTwilioPhone,
'body' => $responseMessage,
)
);
//This edit to the Twilio PHP Library is found in Twilio\Http\CurlClient.php
$curlResponseBody = json_decode($GLOBALS["curlResponseBody"]);
$newMessageSid = $curlResponseBody->sid;
Is there some way to use $client to get to the 'sid' of the message just created?

Twilio evangelist here.
The create() function returns an object that should let you get the message sid:
$client = new Client($account_sid, $auth_token);
$msg = $client->messages->create(
$toPhone,
array(
'from' => $fromTwilioPhone,
'body' => $responseMessage,
)
);
echo $msg.Sid
Hope that helps.
