How to send Fax using PHP

You can't do it directly from PHP. You will have to call an external fax program. If you're in a UNIX environment, hylafax will do the job nicely. You can use PHP to preprocess all the parameters you need, and then pass all the required information to the hylafax program.

thx for the help

hylafax do you know

Well Thx for the reply RQuadling
but i am unable to get your idea completely...
my client has got a website and we generate a workorder for him , he wants to fax it, so can i use hylafax...

Sorry. I missed the bit "for testing".

I think (though I may be wrong) that hylafax is not a PHP component, but a server service.

Once installed, you would use ...

exec('sendfax -f "myname@mydomain.com" -R -r "faxsubject" -c "coverpage comments" -x "Recipient's company" -d "Recipient@1234567" tofax.ps');

Maybe.
