If the value is passed to your script as a command line argument then
it's stored as $1 in bash. Excuse my pseudo-php below

<?
$last_line = system('/path/to/yourscript $variable', $retval);
?>

/path/to/yourscript --

#!/bin/bash
echo $1 | /usr/local/bin/gnokii --sendsms <mobile Number>

If what you're passing includes spaces or special characters, enclose
"$variable" in quotes.
