1. Pay for an SMS gateway (this will provide an API so you send it HTTP POST data and it turns it into an SMS and sends it) or build your own, I suspect at least you'll need a SIM card attached to the server, maybe plug in a mobile phone via USB and tell it to act as a modem
2. Create a form to get the message content
3. PHP processes the submitted form data and sends the data to the gateway which in turn, sends the SMS and provides you with a returncode (which you can parse with PHP and display the result to the user).
That's how to do it in a nutshell.

My developers did the same for my website as badger_fruit wrote, I just think you should seriously consider which gateway to choose. We tried several ones before we found don't advertise on these forums please, which runs great since then.

According to the new rule which I just made up, users with only one post who registered in the past 24 hours are not allowed to reply to other users with only one post who also registered in the past 24 hours if they are recommending specific products. This is doubly true if the two posters are posting from the same IP address.
