Summary

This tutorial guides the creation of an SMS weather forecasting app using PHP and Twilio. The project involves setting up a development environment, installing required packages, creating API connections to OpenWeatherMap and Twilio, and integrating these services with a webhook to receive user requests for weather forecasts. By following this guide, users can create their own SMS-based weather forecasting system that can provide real-time weather updates without internet access. The app allows users to send commands starting with "WN-" followed by the city name, and the system responds with the current weather status of the specified location.
