Most Mobile phone providers will let you send sms through email, which can be accomplished with PHP using the mail() function. Take a look here

 

Other than that, you will need a SMS gateway, which usually charges per message sent.  These also require you to jump a few hoops to user their service, including un-subscribe links in every message <- and it must work.

If you are on Windows you can use the dedicated PHP serial extension.
