/*
* There are a number of 8 bit messages that one can send to a handset, the most popular of the lot is Service Indication(Wap Push).
* Some other popular ones are vCards and vCalendars, headers may vary depending on which of message one opts to send.
* The User Data Header(UDH) is solely responsible for determining which
* type of messages will be sent to one's handset.
* In a nutshell, SI(service indication) messages will have, in the final message body, both the UDH
* and WSP(Wireless Session Protocol) appended to each other forming a prefix of the ASCII string of the Hex value
* of the actual content. For example, suppose our intended Wap message body is as follows:
*
* <si><indication href="http://www.bulksms.com">Visit BulkSMS.com homepage</indication></si>
*
* Our headers will be -- UDH + WSP = FINAL_HEADER
* '0605040B8423F0' + 'DC0601AE' = '0605040B8423F0DC0601AE'
*
* The UDH contains a destination port(0B84) and the origin port(23F0)
* the WSP is broken down into the following:
*
* DC - Transaction ID (used to associate PDUs)
* 06 - PDU type (push PDU)
* 01 - HeadersLen (total of content-type and headers, i.e. zero headers)
* AE - Content Type: application/vnd.wap.sic
*
* For this example our 8 bit message(what becomes our Wap Push) will look like this:
* $msg = '0605040B8423F0DC0601AE02056a0045c60d0362756c6b736d732e636f6d00010356697369742042756c6b534d532e636f6d20686f6d6570616765000101';
*
* You will only get UDH for both vCard and vCalendar type of 8 bit messages and no WSP, which will look something to this effect:
* '06050423F4000'
*
* In order to convert an xml document into its binary representation (wbxml), one would need to install a wbxml library (libwbxml)
* Once that has been successfully achieved, that binary representation will then be finally converted into its hexadecimal value
* in order to complete the transaction. With that done, the appropriate headers are then appended to this hex string to complete
* the Wap Push/8-bit messaging
*
* $eight_bit_msg = get_headers( $msg_type ) . xml_to_wbxml( $msg_body );
* get_headers(...) function commented out. uncomment when you use it.
* $msg_type = 'wap_push';
* $msg_body = '<si><indication href="http://www.bulksms.com">Visit BulkSMS.com homepage</indication></si>';
