xml_data to pass PHP variables - php

Question

I have integrated SMS Gateway in my Opencart CMS
It uses the following SYNTAX
$xml_data ='<?xml version="1.0"?><smslist><sms><user>username</user
<password>112131</password><message>Your order # {$order_id} has been successfully received. Thank you for placing an Order at mystore.com</message><mobiles>9898000000</mobiles><senderid>Sherif</senderid><cdmasenderid>00201009546310</cdmasenderid><accountusagetypeid>1</accountusagetypeid></sms></smslist>';
$URL = "http://mainadmin.dove-sms.com/sendsms.jsp?";
$ch = curl_init($URL);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_ENCODING, 'UTF-8');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/xml'));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "$xml_data");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$output = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
Please make note that I have not used my personal credentials and this is just a syntax. I have tested the code and it works absolutely fine using my credentials
Now, What I want is it should load the order number, instead it shows the text {$order_id} in my message!
Moreover I want the text to be sent to the user who has logged-in in my stored by fetching the $telephone variable
Please help and thanks in advance
File in which this code is included: catalog/controller/checkout/sucess.php
Opencart version: 1.5.6

Now, What I want is it should load the order number, instead it shows the text {$order_id} in my message!
That's because you are using a single quoted string for the variable $xml_data, single quoted strings in PHP display things as is (variables won't be substituted with their values, they will be treated as text), to solve this issue, use a double quoted string instead (according to the PHP manual)
Moreover I want the text to be sent to the user who has logged-in in my stored by fetching the $telephone variable
simply $telephone = $this->customer->getTelephone(), now you just need to put the variable $telephone in the correct tag in $xml_data
Edit
I have read the post comments and noticed that you get an error that says $order_id is not defined, to solve that, use $this->session->data['order_id'] instead of $order_id and place your SMS code in the beginning of the if (isset($this->session->data['order_id'])) code block like that (to use the value of order id before it's erased from session):
if (isset($this->session->data['order_id'])) {
$xml_data ="<?xml version="1.0"?><smslist><sms><user>username</user
<password>112131</password><message>Your order # {$this->session->data['order_id']} has been successfully received. Thank you for placing an Order at mystore.com</message><mobiles>9898000000</mobiles><senderid>Sherif</senderid><cdmasenderid>00201009546310</cdmasenderid><accountusagetypeid>1</accountusagetypeid></sms></smslist>";

$output = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
// here put the rest of the code
$this->cart->clear();
// ...
}
