PHP: Array with foreach loop? - php

Question

I have a and Array which looks like this:
$sms = array(
'from' => 'DummyFrom',
'to' => '[phone]',
'message' => 'Hello hello!'
);
echo sendSMS ($sms) . "\n";
what i'm trying to do is to put this array within a foreach loop so it can be executed multiple time (based on the given times from mysql database). to explain it better, I did something like this:
if (is_array($g_numbers)) {
foreach ($g_numbers as $number) {
$sms = array(
'from' => 'DummyFrom',
'to' => "" . $number . "",
'message' => 'Hello hello!'
);
echo sendSMS($sms) . "\n";
}
}
but that is wrong and its stops the PHP page to execute properly without any errors!
Could someone please advise on this issue?
My full code :
<?php
$people = array();
$sql = "SELECT id, g_name, numbers FROM groups WHERE g_name='$groups'";
$query = mysqli_query($db_conx, $sql);
$productCount = mysqli_num_rows($query);
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($query, MYSQLI_ASSOC)) {
$g_id = $row['id'];
$g_name = $row['g_name'];
$g_numbers = $row['numbers'];
$people[$g_numbers] = $g_numbers;
}
?>
<?
// Example to send SMS using the 46elks service
// Change $username, $password and the mobile number to send to
function sendSMS($sms)
{
// Set your 46elks API username and API password here
// You can find them at https://dashboard.46elks.com/
$username = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
$password = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
$context = stream_context_create(array(
'http' => array(
'method' => 'POST',
'header' => "Authorization: Basic " . base64_encode($username . ':' . $password) . "\r\n" . "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n",
'content' => http_build_query($sms),
'timeout' => 10
)
));
$response = file_get_contents('https://api.46elks.com/a1/SMS', false, $context);
if (!strstr($http_response_header[0], "200 OK"))
return $http_response_header[0];
return $response;
}
if (is_array($g_numbers)) {
foreach ($g_numbers as $number) {
$sms = array(
'from' => 'DummyFrom',
/* Can be up to 11 alphanumeric characters */
'to' => "" . $number . "",
/* The mobile number you want to send to */
'message' => 'Hello hello!'
);
echo sendSMS($sms) . "\n";
}
}
?>

Answer 1

This will work because tables values are stored in $people:
if (is_array($people)) {
foreach ($people as $number) {
$sms = array(
'from' => 'DummyFrom',
/* Can be up to 11 alphanumeric characters */
'to' => "" . $number . "",
/* The mobile number you want to send to */
'message' => 'Hello hello!'
);
echo sendSMS($sms) . "\n";
}
}
