First you need to check the values are set or not then call the function — Subhash Shipu

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);
    }
?>

@sairam duggi. Also you need to add a URL (that .php file) in action attribute of the html form element.

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
