kannel

Unable to send percent character "%" in the SMS body in Kannel

I have kannel installed on my Server and I am using it to connect to an SMS Gateway using SMPP. When I am trying to send an SMS with "%" the SMS is not sent. But without "%" it works fine. Thanks

I have found a solution by converting the message to HTML using urlencode($message)

Cheers ^_^

Solution

  • I believe kannel is XML and as such, you must escape a percentage %.

    Try replacing % with %
