// This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Http')
$http = new COM("Chilkat.Http");

// Implements the following CURL command:

// curl -i \
// -X POST \
// -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
// -H "Accept: application/json" \
// -H "Authorization: API_KEY" \
// -d '{"content": "Test Message Text", "to": ["PHONE_NUMBER"], "from": "FROM_PHONE_NUMBER" }' \
// -s https://platform.clickatell.com/messages

// Use this online tool to generate code from sample JSON:
// Generate Code to Create JSON

// The following JSON is sent in the request body.
