sending multiple messages using clickatell gateway - php

Question

I used php server side to connect with clickatell messages service , i used the soap api technique to make the connection . it is working .but in my code , i can send just one message at the same time , here is the code :
function actionSendSMS(){
$msgModel = new Messages();
$settModel = new Settings();
$setRows = $settModel->findAll();
$usr=$setRows[0]->clickatell_usr;
$pwdRows = $settModel->findAll();
$pwd=$pwdRows[0]->clickatell_pwd;
$api_idRows = $settModel->findAll();
$api_id=$api_idRows[0]->clickatell_api_id;
$msgModel->findAllBySql("select * from messages where is_sent=0 and
send_date=".date("m/d/Y"));
$client = new SoapClient("http://api.clickatell.com/soap/webservice.php?WSDL");
$params = array('api_id' => $api_id,'user'=> $usr,'password'=> $pwd);
$result = $client->auth($params['api_id'],$params['user'],$params['password']);
$sessionID = substr($result,3);
$callback=6;
// echo $result."<br/>";
// echo $sessionID;
$params2 = array('session_id'=>$sessionID, 'api_id' => $api_id,'user'=>
$usr,'password'=>$pwd,
'to'=>array('962xxxxxxx'), 'from'=>"thetester",'text'=>'this is a sample test
message','callback'=>$callback);
$result2 = $client->sendmsg($params2['session_id'],
$params['api_id'],$params['user'],$params['password'],
$params2['to'],$params2['from'],$params2['text'],$params2['callback']);
print_r( $result2)."<br/>";
$apimsgid= substr($result2[0],4);
$rowsx=Messages::model()->findAllBySql("select * from messages where is_sent=0 and
send_date='".date("m/d/Y")."'");
for($i=0;$i<count($rowsx);$i++)
{
$rowsx[$i]->clickatell_id=$apimsgid;
$rowsx[$i]->save();
}
//echo $apimsgid."<br/>";
if (substr($result2[0], 0,3)==='ERR' && (!(substr($result2[0], 0,2)==='ID'
) ))
{
echo 'Connot Routing Message';
}
.... now you see that this code will send one message at the same time , forget about the id , its for personal purpose , now this service i have to modify it , to send multiple messages at the same time , and i will give every message an unique ID , so now my problem is : is there any one knows if there is a service to send multiple sms at the same time ;
as in my code i fill the information for one message ,but i need a service to send multiple sms , does any body can give me a link to this service , i made many searches but there is no answer i have found

Answer 1

Try startbatch command to send multiple messages at the same time (it also supports personalized). However, it is not based soap, it is based http api.

Answer 2

Have you tried
$params2 = array('session_id'=>$sessionID, 'api_id' => $api_id,'user'=> $usr,'password'=>$pwd, 'to'=>array('962xxxxxxx', '962xxxxxxx', '962xxxxxxx'), 'from'=>"thetester",'text'=...
or
$params2 = array('session_id'=>$sessionID, 'api_id' => $api_id,'user'=> $usr,'password'=>$pwd, 'to'=>array('962xxxxxxx,962xxxxxxx,962xxxxxxx'), 'from'=>"thetester",'text'=...
