You also need to add an action URL to your form so as to receive all the posted data 

<form method='post' action='pathToController'>

Where pathToController is the file where the sendSMS function exists.

Also in the sendSMS function, you forgot to pass the sender id as the third parameter. 

  $senderid =$_POST['senderid'];
    $message = rawurlencode($_POST['message']);
    $mobile="0123456789";
sendSMS($mobile, $message, $senderid);//pass senderid as well

you must first assign name to button submit 

  <input type="submit" name="submit" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm" value="Send SMS">

and then call function on form submit 

 <?php 

    if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
       $senderid =$_POST['senderid'];

       $message = rawurlencode($_POST['message']);
       $mobile = isset($_POST['mobilenumber']) ? $_POST['mobilenumber'] : '';
       sendSMS($mobile,$message);
    }
?>
