Yes, Morse Code is employed on modern naval ships in case practical means of communication have been lost. It is also useful in other situations of distress.

In relation to the use of Morse by civilians, it is possible to send Morse over old telegraphs or even radio as well as other means.

So yes it is still in use.

How do you use an electric telegraph?

A telegraph works by sending a series of electric pulses through a long wire, to another telegraph device which then interprets the pulses into a series of clicking sounds. Depending on how long the lengths of the clicks are, there is an "alphabet" called Morse code that the person on the other side of the telegraph can use to understand. The telegraph system was the first step to the development of the telephone. <><><> The old fashioned telegraph system used lines similar to telephone lines but did not use speech. It was used to send messages from one place to another by using electrical on/off signals, similar to the dots and dashes used in the Morse Code. A person who wanted to send a telegraph message would have to write it clearly - using block letters and numbers - onto a piece of paper called a "Telegraph Transmission Form" and had to take it by hand to a "Telegraph Office". A person called a "Telegraph Operator" then had to read the form and tap-in each of the letters and numbers into a machine called a "Telegraph Machine". The signals made letters and numbers appear on a similar machine at a "Telegraph Office" in the town where the person lived who was to receive the message. The machine at the "receiving station" actually printed out the letters and numbers onto a strip of paper just as they were sent out from the keyboard of the "transmitting station". The strips of paper were then pasted onto another sheet of paper, called a "Telegraph Reception Form" and that was hand-delivered to the person it was addressed-to. <><><> If you mean a telex machine, it has a keyboard like a typewriter and also has a printer . If you know someone you want to send a message to has a similar telex machine, you can set up a telex call to their number, just like a telephone call but with no speech. Then you can type in your message and the the telex machine at the other end of the line will print it out.

Why do you send a telegram?

Actually, these days, you don't. In their day (beginning in the late 1840s), telegrams were very important. In fact, the telegraph was considered an amazing invention, since it transmitted short messages by Morse code hundreds of miles away, often in less than an hour. In the world before the internet, sending and receiving a message in the same day was considered a miracle, since it had taken days to send information by horse (or even by train) prior to the arrival of the telegraph. By the late 1800s, the telegraph had become an essential means of communication. Journalists relied on it to send stories back to their newspaper. And members of the public were excited to receive a telegram, since it usually meant important news, like an upcoming wedding or the fact that a family member from a distant city was arriving soon (or sometimes, a message that someone had just died). Messages were charged by the word, and this meant information was now considered valuable and worth paying for. But when technology improved (first radio, then TV, satellite, and finally the internet), the idea of sending messages by Morse code over telegraph wires lost its specialness. It was now much too slow to wait for a telegram, and there were many better and faster ways to send messages over long distances. One by one, telegraph companies went out of business and fewer people were receiving telegrams. For example, the Telegraph Service in India closed in July 2013: for more than 160 years, the telegraph was an important way to communicate in many parts of rural India. But in a world of smart-phones and instant messaging, few people seem eager to send or receive telegrams any more.

Code for mobile alert in PHP?

You can use an email to SMS gateway to send SMS messages from a PHP script. This will likely be a paid for service, there used to be some network specific free services, but I think most of them are now closed, presumably due to abuse from spammers. Search for "email to SMS gateway". To send e-mail from PHP see the 'mail' command.
