```php
?php 
/* Include PanaceaApi class */
require_once("panacea_api.php");

$api = new PanaceaApi();
$api->setUsername("demouser");

$result = $api->message_send("27111234567", "Hello", "27111234456");

if($api->ok($result)) {
	echo "Message sent! ID was {$result['details']}\n";
	$message_id = $result['details'];
	
	/* Now we can check what the status of the message is */
	
	$message = $api->message_status($message_id);
	
	if($api->ok($message)) {
		echo "Message cost was {$message['details']['cost']}\n";
