How can the server ensure that the HTTP gateway link is executed for each SMS being sent in PHP?

To ensure that the HTTP gateway link is executed for each SMS being sent in PHP, the server can include the HTTP request to the gateway link within the SMS sending function. This way, every time a SMS is sent, the HTTP request will be triggered to send the message through the gateway. 

function sendSMS($recipient, $message) {
    // Code to send SMS using a SMS API
    
    // Execute HTTP request to gateway link
    $gatewayLink = 'http://example.com/sms_gateway';
    $data = array('recipient' => $recipient, 'message' => $message);
    
    $ch = curl_init($gatewayLink);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($data));
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    
    $response = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
    
    return $response;
}

// Usage
sendSMS('1234567890', 'Hello there!');
