To do this you simply need to forward all the e-mails you would like to be sent to your cellphone provider’s “SMS Gateway”. (Note: SMS/Text messaging fees will apply)

1. You need your provider’s “SMS Gateway” here is a small list of gateways:

• Alltel: [10-digit phone number]@message.alltel.com
• AT&T (formerly Cingular): [10-digit phone number]@txt.att.net
• Boost Mobile: [10-digit phone number]@myboostmobile.com
• Sprint: [10-digit phone number]@messaging.sprintpcs.com
• T-Mobile: [10-digit phone number]@tmomail.net
• Verizon: [10-digit phone number]@vtext.com

2. Now you need to set up your e-mail account to forward to the e-mails you want want sent to your phone. Here is a list of tutorials on forwarding e-mail with a few different e-mail systems.

• Microsoft Outlook
• Apple OS X Mail
• gMail

3. Test, you can send an e-mail to your provider’s “SMS Gateway” to make sure that works. Then test that your forwarding works within your e-mail system.

Obviously this setup can be used for lots of things not just monitoring ebay. If you have a website you could choose to forward all sales or support e-mails to your phone so that you can provide excellent customer service. If you are a system administrator you could use the “SMS Gateway” to forward alerts to your cellphone. The following example can be used to have a server send your cellphone a message from a script or command line.

You can redirect the output from any command using the pipe ( | ) operator. This is the same method you would use to send that output to your e-mail.

Hope someone finds this information useful. As always feel free to contact me if you find any inaccuracies or have any questions.

Not only were we able to create a website to meet all of these needs but we also choose to use Wordpress for content management so that the client could easily update their gym’s schedule and news pages.

Before I could even start writing my script I needed to install the proper PHP packages. I found many tutorials on setting up Linux servers to use ODBC connections but this seemed overly complicated and would require me to set up ODBC connections for every MSSQL database I wanted access to. Wanting something something simple and straight forward I found the PHP5-sybase package in the Debian package repository.

After doing `apt-get install php5-sybase` I was ready to dive into the php. The syntax for accessing a MSSQL database is almost identical to MySQL. First we needed to create our connection:

Then we needed to specify which database on that server we wanted to access.

Once that is done we can start doing queries.

Now we can print the output.

Make sure to close the connection when you are done!

Hope this saves you some time, please feel free to leave comments.

Not only have we fufilled all of these requests but we did so using the zencart e-commerce system. This allows them to easily manipulate all of the business aspects of having an online store like taxes, shipping costs and product management with out having to think about the web design aspects. By being able to make all of these modifications in-house they are able to save time and money bypassing a web designer for these updates.

Not only were we able to create a website to meet all of these needs but we also created scripts to keep his client galleries updated automatically. We advised he use YouTube for his video work to give him more internet exposure. His website links to his YouTube profile and his YouTube profile links back to his website. This allows potential customers to find him through normal search methods as well as YouTube.
