MessageGlobe PHP SDK

A lightweight, framework-agnostic PHP SDK for MessageGlobe — send SMS, manage contacts, lists and sender IDs, and send email over SMTP.

English · Italiano

---

The SDK has no framework or CMS dependencies and drops cleanly into Laravel, Symfony, WordPress, or plain PHP. A single API token (copied from the developers dashboard) authorises every REST feature — SMS, Contacts, Lists, and Sender IDs. Email is configured separately over SMTP.

Installation

composer require messageglobe/sdk

Not yet published on Packagist? Until then, install directly from GitHub by adding the repository to your composer.json, then requiring a tagged release (or dev-main):

{
  "repositories": [
    { "type": "vcs", "url": "https://github.com/Message-Globe/messageglobe-php" }
  ]
}

composer require messageglobe/sdk:^1.0

Quick start

Use the unified facade, or each client on its own.

use MessageGlobe\MessageGlobe;
use MessageGlobe\Sms\SmsMessage;
use MessageGlobe\Contacts\ContactRequest;
use MessageGlobe\Email\EmailMessage;

$mg = MessageGlobe::create([
    // Copy your token from https://dashboard.messageglobe.com/developers.
    // This one token powers all REST features (SMS, Contacts, Lists, Sender IDs).
    'api_token' => 'XX|xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
    'smtp' => [
        'host'         => 'smtp.messageglobe.com',
        'port'         => 587,
        'from_address' => 'no-reply@yourapp.com',
        'from_name'    => 'YourApp',
        'username'     => 'smtp-user',
        'password'     => 'smtp-password',
        'encryption'   => 'tls',
    ],
]);

// Send an SMS
$response = $mg->sms()->send(
    (new SmsMessage())
        ->to('393612345678')
        ->from('YourName')
        ->message('This is a test message')
        ->highQuality()
);
echo $response->messageId();

// Create a contact
$contact = $mg->contacts()->create('list_uid_example', (new ContactRequest())->phone('393310000000'));
echo $contact->uid();

// Send an email
$mg->email()->send(
    (new EmailMessage())
        ->to('jane@example.com', 'Jane Doe')
        ->subject('Welcome')
        ->html('<h1>Hi Jane</h1>')
        ->text('Hi Jane')
);

SMS

Configuration

Get your API token from the developers dashboard. The same ApiConfig is shared by every REST client.

use MessageGlobe\ApiConfig;
use MessageGlobe\Sms\SmsClient;

$client = new SmsClient(new ApiConfig('XX|your-api-token'));

// Optionally set the response language ("en" or "it"):
$client = new SmsClient(new ApiConfig('XX|your-api-token', ApiConfig::DEFAULT_BASE_URL, ApiConfig::LANGUAGE_IT));

Sending a message

SmsMessage is a fluent builder. There are two gateways:

• HQ (->highQuality()) — custom sender_id and delivery reports. sender_id is required.
• LQ (->lowQuality()) — no custom sender, no delivery report.

use MessageGlobe\Sms\SmsMessage;

$response = $client->send(
    (new SmsMessage())
        ->to('393612345678')        // call multiple times, or pass "n1,n2" for several recipients
        ->from('YourName')          // sender_id (max 11 chars if alphanumeric)
        ->message('Hello world')
        ->highQuality()
        ->dlrCallbackUrl('https://yourapp.com/webhooks/dlr') // optional, HQ only
);

$result = $response->first();
echo $result->messageId();   // "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
echo $result->status();      // "Sent"
echo $result->cost();        // 0.06

The message type (plain vs unicode) defaults to plain. Let the SDK pick it from the content — messages with non-GSM characters (emoji, Cyrillic, …) are sent as unicode:

(new SmsMessage())
    ->to('393612345678')
    ->from('YourName')
    ->messageAutoType('Привет 😀');   // -> unicode automatically

Multiple recipients

$response = $client->send(
    (new SmsMessage())
        ->to('393612345678,880172145789')  // or chain ->to() calls
        ->from('YourName')
        ->message('Hello everyone')
        ->highQuality()
);

foreach ($response->all() as $result) {
    echo $result->recipient(), ' => ', $result->messageId(), PHP_EOL;
}

Checking status

$result = $client->status('xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx');
echo $result->status();      // e.g. "Delivered"
echo $result->updatedAt();

Delivery report (DLR) callbacks

When you pass dlrCallbackUrl() with the HQ gateway, MessageGlobe POSTs a JSON payload to your URL for each delivery update:

{
    "message_id": "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
    "recipient": "393612345678",
    "sender_id": "YourName",
    "status_code": 1,
    "status": "Delivered",
    "updated_at": "2024-06-28T11:41:51.000000Z"
}

status_code values: 1 Delivered, 2 Failed, 8 Sent.

Contacts

Contacts live inside a list identified by its group id (the list uid). Use the same ApiConfig / API token as SMS.

use MessageGlobe\ApiConfig;
use MessageGlobe\Contacts\ContactsClient;
use MessageGlobe\Contacts\ContactRequest;

$client = new ContactsClient(new ApiConfig('XX|your-api-token'));

Creating a contact

At least one of phone or email is required; firstName and lastName are optional.

$contact = $client->create('list_uid_example', (new ContactRequest())
    ->phone('393310000000')
    ->firstName('Jane')
    ->lastName('Doe'));

echo $contact->uid();       // "contact_uid_example"
echo $contact->status();    // "subscribe"
echo $contact->createdAt();

Deleting a contact

Provide the list group id and the contact uid returned at creation.

$client->delete('list_uid_example', 'contact_uid_example');

A failed delete (e.g. the contact does not exist) throws an ApiException with apiErrorCode() 1002 ("Risorsa non trovata").

Lists (groups)

A list — or group — is the container that contacts belong to. Its uid is the group_id used by the Contacts client.

use MessageGlobe\ApiConfig;
use MessageGlobe\Contacts\GroupsClient;

$client = new GroupsClient(new ApiConfig('XX|your-api-token'));

$group = $client->create('Newsletter subscribers');
$uid   = $group->uid();

$group = $client->show($uid);
$group = $client->update($uid, 'VIP subscribers');

$client->delete($uid);

// List all groups (raw, paginated API data)
$page = $client->all();

Group exposes uid(), name(), createdAt(), updatedAt(), and raw() for the full payload. all() returns the raw decoded data (including pagination metadata) because the API does not document a fixed shape.

Sender IDs

Manage the sender IDs (custom senders used with the HQ gateway) on your account.

use MessageGlobe\ApiConfig;
use MessageGlobe\Senders\SendersClient;
use MessageGlobe\Senders\SenderIdRequest;

$client = new SendersClient(new ApiConfig('XX|your-api-token'));

// List all sender IDs
foreach ($client->all() as $sender) {
    echo $sender->senderId(), ' => ', $sender->status(), PHP_EOL; // "active" / "pending"
}

// Look one up by name
$sender = $client->show('YourName');

// Create a new one (submitted for approval — all fields are required, 3-11 chars)
$sender = $client->create((new SenderIdRequest())
    ->senderId('YourName')
    ->company('Your Company')
    ->taxCode('ABCDEF12G34H567I')
    ->vatCode('01234567890')
    ->address('Via Roma 1')
    ->city('Rome')
    ->province('RM')
    ->country('IT')
    ->emailAddress('you@example.com')
    ->phone('391234567890')
    ->pecAddress('you@pec.example.com'));

// Delete by name
$client->delete('YourName');

A lookup or delete of an unknown sender ID throws an ApiException (HTTP 404, message locale.exceptions.not_found).

Email

use MessageGlobe\Email\Attachment;
use MessageGlobe\Email\EmailClient;
use MessageGlobe\Email\EmailMessage;
use MessageGlobe\Email\SmtpConfig;

$client = new EmailClient(new SmtpConfig(
    'smtp.messageglobe.com',
    587,
    'no-reply@yourapp.com',
    'YourApp',
    'smtp-user',
    'smtp-password',
    SmtpConfig::ENCRYPTION_TLS
));

$client->send(
    (new EmailMessage())
        ->to('jane@example.com', 'Jane Doe')
        ->cc('team@example.com')
        ->replyTo('support@yourapp.com')
        ->subject('Your report')
        ->html('<h1>Report ready</h1><p>See attachment.</p>')
        ->text('Report ready. See attachment.')
        ->attach(Attachment::fromPath('/path/to/report.pdf'))
        ->attach(Attachment::fromContent($csvString, 'data.csv', 'text/csv'))
);

Encryption options: SmtpConfig::ENCRYPTION_TLS (STARTTLS), ENCRYPTION_SSL (SMTPS), or ENCRYPTION_NONE. Omit username/password for an unauthenticated relay.

Using MessageGlobe's SMTP server

MessageGlobe provides SMTP on dashboard.messageglobe.com:465 (SSL). Your username is your MessageGlobe login and your password is your API token. There's a preset for this:

$config = SmtpConfig::forMessageGlobe(
    'you@yourlogin.com',   // MessageGlobe login username
    'XX|your-api-token',   // API token, used as the SMTP password
    'no-reply@yourapp.com',
    'YourApp'
);

$client = new EmailClient($config);

Error handling

Every exception thrown by the SDK implements MessageGlobe\Exception\MessageGlobeExceptionInterface, so you can catch them all in one place:

use MessageGlobe\Exception\ApiException;
use MessageGlobe\Exception\ValidationException;
use MessageGlobe\Exception\MessageGlobeExceptionInterface;

try {
    $client->send($sms);
} catch (ValidationException $e) {
    // Client-side validation failed (bad number, missing sender_id, ...)
} catch (ApiException $e) {
    // The API returned an error
    echo $e->getMessage();       // "Invalid params"
    echo $e->apiErrorCode();     // 200
    echo $e->httpStatusCode();   // 422
    print_r($e->errors());       // ['recipient' => '... non è un numero mobile valido']
} catch (MessageGlobeExceptionInterface $e) {
    // Any other SDK error (transport, email, configuration, ...)
}

Exception	Thrown when
ConfigurationException	Invalid or missing configuration
ValidationException	A message or contact fails client-side validation
ApiException	A REST endpoint (SMS, Contacts, Lists, Senders) errors
TransportException	Network failure or an undecodable response
EmailException	SMTP delivery fails

Custom HTTP client

Every REST client (SmsClient, ContactsClient, GroupsClient, SendersClient) uses a zero-dependency cURL client by default. You can supply your own by implementing MessageGlobe\Http\HttpClientInterface — handy for testing or for reusing your application's HTTP stack.

$client = new SmsClient($config, new MyHttpClient());
$groups = new GroupsClient($config, new MyHttpClient());

Testing

composer install
composer test
