PHP, Twilio SMS - capturing twilio's response - php

Question

I'm trying to do some SMS messages using Twilio, and so far it's pretty straight forward, but I'm using some test data to capture various scenarios and I used "1234567890" as a phone number to capture an error, but I get the following error when I navigate to the page that queries the twilio api:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Twilio\Exceptions\RestException'
with message '[HTTP 404] Unable to fetch record:
The requested resource /PhoneNumbers/1234567890 was not found'
Here's my code:
use Twilio\Rest\Client;
$client = new Client($sid, $token);
if($ph && preg_match('/^[0-9]{10}$/', $ph)) {
//this returns an array containing type, error_code, and a boolean
//value for is_valid.
$response = lookup($client, $ph);
if($response['is_valid']) {
//send the message via twilio.
$message = $client->messages->create(
$ph,
array(
'from' => 'my_twilio_number_goes_here',
'body' => 'text_body_goes_here'
)
);
//handle twilio response
$status = $message->status;
$sid = $message->sid;
}
How can I capture that response?

Answer 1

$twilio = new TwilioClient(env('TWILIO_ACCOUNT_ID'), env('TWILIO_TOKEN'));
$message=new \StdClass;
try
{
//check mobile number is valid or not
$is_valid_number = $twilio->lookups->v1->phoneNumbers($phone_number)->fetch();
if($is_valid_number)
{
$data['From']=env('TWILIO_FROM_ALPHANUMERIC_NAME');
$data['Body']="Sms testing";
$message = $twilio->messages->create($mobile_number, $data);
}
else{
echo "Your Mobile number is not available.";
}
}
catch(\Exception $e)
{
echo $e->getMessage();
}
