How to call external web service using PHP

I am using a service to send sms using php by redirecting to service page (e.g http://example.com?receiver=38383&msg=test)

If I want to send a message to one phone number I can redirect to this page, but I want to send a lot of message using for loop. I can't redirect to the page because it will stop the PHP script. I tried cURL but I don't have any results. Can you help me?

This is the code of cURL:

$path = "http://example.com?receiver=38383&msg=test";
$opts = array(CURLOPT_URL => $path,
              CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
              CURLOPT_HEADER => true,
           CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($ch, $opts);
$return = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $return;

function sendSMS($receiver, $message) {
    $ch = curl_init();

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com?receiver" . $receiver . "&msg=" . $message);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

    $content = curl_exec($ch);

    curl_close($ch);

    return $content;
}

echo sendSMS (38383, "test");
