How to send link Massage by WhatsApp Step-by-step in Php Mysqli

If you want to send a WhatsApp message without using Composer to install the Twilio SDK, you can manually download the Twilio SDK and include it in your project. Here’s how to do it:

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Download the Twilio SDK: Go to the Twilio PHP SDK GitHub repository and download the latest version as a ZIP file. Extract it into your project directory.
2. Include the Twilio SDK in Your Project: Include the necessary Twilio SDK files in your PHP script.
3. Write the PHP Script: Create a PHP script to send the WhatsApp message.

Example PHP Script

1. Download and Extract Twilio SDK:
   • Download the ZIP from Twilio PHP SDK GitHub repository.
   • Extract it to a directory in your project, e.g., twilio-php.
2. Include Twilio SDK in Your PHP Script:

phpCopy code<?php
// Load the Twilio SDK
require 'twilio-php/src/Twilio/autoload.php'; 

use Twilio\Rest\Client;

// Your Account SID and Auth Token from twilio.com/console
$sid = 'your_account_sid';
$token = 'your_auth_token';
$client = new Client($sid, $token);

// The WhatsApp-enabled Twilio number you purchased
$from = 'whatsapp:+14155238886';

// The recipient's WhatsApp number
$to = 'whatsapp:+1234567890';

// Message content
$messageBody = 'Hello, check out this link:';
$buttonText = 'Click Here';
$link = 'https://www.example.com';

// Sending the message with a link button
$message = $client->messages->create(
    $to,
    [
        'from' => $from,
        'body' => $messageBody . " " . $link,
        'persistentAction' => [
            'web' => $link,
            'text' => $buttonText,
        ]
    ]
);

echo "Message sent!";
?>

Explanation

1. Include Twilio SDK: Use require to include the Twilio SDK’s autoload file.
2. Twilio Credentials: Replace 'your_account_sid' and 'your_auth_token' with your actual Twilio Account SID and Auth Token.
3. Sender and Receiver Numbers: Replace the from and to numbers with your Twilio WhatsApp number and the recipient’s WhatsApp number, respectively.
4. Message Content: Customize the $messageBody, $buttonText, and $link with your desired message and link.

Running the Script

Save your PHP script (e.g., send_whatsapp.php) and run it from your command line or web server.

shCopy codephp send_whatsapp.php

• WhatsApp Approval: Make sure your WhatsApp Business Account is approved by WhatsApp.
• Compliance: Follow WhatsApp’s messaging policies to avoid being blocked or banned.
