I want to make a Facebook like SMS sending and receiving service. Are there any PHP API to do that? I want to use a specific number like Facebook.
Note
Sending SMS through E-mail is possible but how can I receive SMSs through my PHP application? I am searching for a free PHP API without any external hardware to do that. Is it possible?
In case your search for free doesn't work out:
I've recently been playing around with Twilio: http://www.twilio.com/
And they've recently cleaned up their API:
http://blog.twilio.com/2010/08/announcing-the-new-twilio-api-version-2010-04-01.html
They also have contests running. Maybe your app will fall into a category and land some free marketing :)
If you want it to work in India, use smsgupshup.com's API to create SMS applications.
This software will let you receive sms in PHP: Receive SMS
It connects to a 3G/GSM modem or dongle and will automatically post incoming SMS messages to your website where you can handle them using a simple PHP script

Actually our client has N number of websites and many of the times if something went wrong like site down,loading slow or database error occured, in such cases we don't get immediate updates.
Would you please help to suggest any web monitoring tool which will do work for us and send SMS & Email notification immediately if any of the above case occurs?
Yes, Basically you are looking for monitoring tools which will monitor all your resources like your web server, cup speed and database services and etc.
For monitoring i would recommend New Relic tool for this activity. Currently we are using the same tool to monitor our live websites details and accordingly revert traffics and other services with it.
As request, it also has functionality for sending notifications via email.

Interested in creating a web-based CRM application that can do metrics based on emails. I'm using Laravel (PHP) for the creation of this application and the client is using Google Business Apps (Gmail). Gmail provides an API that allows you to take different actions. My main interest is running metrics and viewing stats on the customer emails (e.g. response times, most active customer, least active customer, etc).
The other approach is to somehow download all the emails to a MySQL database and query them directly.
Can someone suggest a method to query my Gmail email from Laravel that involves these methods or even a different method?
Why not try using IMAP? This way it won't be Gmail specific and you could use almost any email provider. From there you could parse out all the info you need from the email headers (sender, date, subject, etc) and store it in a DB. PHP has a module for IMAP but there are also some nice composer packages such as Fetch that will help speed up development.

I have a web app built on zend that send email notifications for different events (signup, someone follows you etc...). It is using php mail. The emails get sent out as part of action hooks that fire at various events. I am looking for recommendations for a service that will take over the sending of the emails. Thanks in advance!
we use http://sendgrid.com/ at our shop.
Amazon SES or Sailthru
I do like sailthru, they can host your email templates, logs of every sent email (so you can resend), open rates, etc. It's a white listing service and their PHP API is easssy to use.
Postmark is quite nice, with a very powerful API.

Does PHP have any classes to receive email? Do you know of any good resources about this?
Try php-imap library. It's very popular and stable.
I had this question too and I wanted to get emails in real time so I worked out my own solution with google app engine. I basically made a small dedicated google app engine app to receive and POST emails to my main site.
You can check out Emailization (a little weekend project I did to do it for you), or you this small GAE app that should do the trick.
I kinda explained it more on another question.
Hope that helps!
If you want to receive e-mail in real-time(COOL? but have to use .appspot domain. You could off course also forward it to the .appspot domain) I would advise you to have a look at google app engine which is free to use(generous quota). You could forward the email it your webserver using asynchronous request which in turn let's you do all the cool stuf you would like it to do in PHP.
Python is pretty easy to learn especially after watching this video from Brett Slatkin explaining how to "Developing and deploying an application on Google App Engine" and the snippets in the google app engine documentation should get you started in no time.
