SMS>Mobile>Serial Cable>PC

Hi,

As the title says, I'm trying to develop a way to get a SMS text message into my computer so that I can insert it into a database using PHP/MySQL. Does anyone know if it's possible to plug a mobile into the back of my PC using possibly a serial cable and for me to recieve any texts to that mobile on the computer. I was thinking that it might be that a mobile sends a message down the serial cable upon recieving a text message which I could then pick up using PHP or more probably a different language (C++, Java?).

Thanks in advance,

Matthew Dingley
