Sending SMS using PHP API with unicode message - php

Question

I trying to send SMS via RoutoMessaging PHP API. I readed all documentation and examples what i was able to find.
They have PHP example script for sending SMS in unicode format:
<?php
// include RoutoSMS class
include("RoutoTelecomSMS.php");
// creating object
$sms = new RoutoTelecomSMS;
// setting login parameters
$sms->SetUssms->SetOwnNum("44792838383838");
$sms->SetType("unicode");
// get values entered from FORM
$sms->SetNumber($number);
$message="04220432043E04580435002004370435043B0435043D04350020043E0
44704380020044104430020043C04380020043F0430043C043504420020043F043E
043C044304420438043B0435002E002E002E";
$sms->SetMessage($message);
// send SMS and print result
$smsresult = $sms->Send();
print $smsresult;
?>
What i not understand is how i can transform text from submited string to this code needed for including in $message.
Can anyone suggest function to convert text for $message please?
I currently work with PHP version 5.3.3.

The message you are sending is a Cryllic text. It's probably in Serbian. It reads as "Твоје зелене очи су ми памет помутиле..."
Decoding
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
$str = "04220432043E04580435002004370435043B0435043D04350020043E044704380020044104430020043C04380020043F0430043C043504420020043F043E043C044304420438043B0435002E002E002E";
foreach(str_split($str, 4) as $char) echo "&#x{$char};";
And this is how you would encode the message
$string = "Твоје зелене очи су ми памет помутиле...";
$string = mb_convert_encoding($string, 'UCS-2', 'utf8');
for($i =0; $i < strlen($string); $i++)
echo strtoupper(bin2hex($string[$i]));
