Sending Faxes through webpages...

[tha_mink]

I would like to have the ability to send faxes through a site that I am working on but have never done it before. I know it can be done but haven't been able to google a solid answer on how. Anyone ever anything like that before? Care to shed some light on the matter for me?

I dont think you can send a fax through PHP.. Maybe a SMS to a mobile phone or whatever but not a fax. If you've seen it done id like to see it.

If one can make a fax program in C/C++, one can make the same thing in PHP. You may have to make the PHP program work with that C/C++ program, however. For instance, write a program that listens on a certain port and then sends faxes upon getting a connection. A PHP script could then connect, send the info, then disconnect.

Theoretically it's possible.

i know it's been a while since you posted but http://www.fax.co.uk can sort this easliy enough. Have resold this service in the past but direction has since changed to sms so don't support it anymore.

It's no harder than sending an email. How much simpler do you want it?? 😉
