Twilio Halloween Trick-or-Treat Image Sender

This is the code for my upcoming Twilio tutorial showing how to build a Halloween-themed Trick-or-Treat SMS image sender.

Requirements

• PHP 7.4 or above
• A free Twilio account
• An account with a file hosting service.

Usage

To use the application:

• Clone the repository locally
• Copy .env.example as .env
• Retrieve your Twilio account SID, Auth Token, and phone number from the Twilio Console and paste them into .env as the values for the first three variables (TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID, TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN, & TWILIO_PHONE_NUMBER).
• Upload one or more images to your file hosting service of choice, such as DigitalOcean Spaces, then set the base URL to the images as the value of IMAGE_URL_BASE in .env.
• Start the application using PHP's built-in web server, by running the command below.

  php -S 0.0.0.0:8080 -t public &

• Then, open http://localhost:8080 in your browser of choice.
