The second part of the tutorial is actually optional for those who know their way around php coding. These pages will help you diagnose errors with ease.

Create these three pages

1. failed.php
2. sent.php
3. badlogin.php

On sending the sms message three things are likely to happen;

1. Login Failure, i.e. failure to authenticate with the Clickatell Gateway
2. SMS Sending Failure , i.e. failure to send the sms
3. Successful message sending

And in any of the listed conditions above, you will be redirected to a corresponding php page to know where the fault it came from.

failed.php
