Theres a few options to send SMS from within a php application. It also depends if u wanna send International SMS or just between an specific area.
For International SMS you could open an account with an SMS aggregator, which sends the SMS to the carriers SMS servers (clickatell, like it has been mentioned is a good option, with good support). Theres a php class for sending sms with clickatell at phpclasses.org.
For an specific area you could make your own SMS server theres tutorials on how to do it around the web (google it). You could use and Email to SMS gateway if its available from the local carriers.

You dont need any software in particular, you just need to mail it to
the right provider.
See Below:
<code>
//Someone is sending an SMS
if ( $_POST['sms-submit']=='send' ) {
// $options['provider'] contains the whole provider string, split to
format/server - I use Tmobile UK
$options['provider'] = '0n@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
$provider_data=explode("@",$options['provider']);
// replace n in format string with number, stripping initial 0
(provided in format)
//the $options['mobile'] in your form should be your mobile number
with the countrycode - ie mine is +44 then without 0
$provider_data[0]=str_replace('n',ltrim($options['mobile'],0),$provider_data[0]);
$to=$provider_data[0] . '@' . $provider_data[1];
$header=$options['header'];
$emailheaders = 'From: geneva@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: geneva@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' . "\r\n" .
'X-mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
global $userdata;
get_currentuserinfo();
$subject="Text from theGeneva.com";
$message= strip_tags(stripslashes($_POST['sms-message']));
//Trim message to max SMS number
$message=substr($message,0,$options['maxlength']);
@mail($to, $subject, $message, $emailheaders);
</code>
