About this Library

Twilio is a text messaging service which allows you to interact with your users/clients/community via text messages. No need for smart phones or building apps.

This library uses twilio to conduct surveys. This project was born out of a need for non-profit groups to survey their communities for feed back (mostly after an event/class/seminars) without paying lots and lots of money. Twilio.org offers a discounted rate for 501(c)3 organizations, which makes it ideal.

Add a cli-config.php file either in your root directory or in a folder named "config" in your root directory.

The contents of the cli-config.php should be

3. Generate the SQL code to create DB tables.
