What are some methods for sending faxes using PHP?

Sending faxes using PHP can be achieved by utilizing third-party services that offer fax sending capabilities through APIs. One popular option is to use services like Twilio or eFax, which provide APIs for sending faxes programmatically. By integrating these APIs into your PHP code, you can easily send faxes directly from your application.

// Example using Twilio API to send a fax
require __DIR__ . '/twilio-php-master/Twilio/autoload.php'; // Include Twilio PHP library

use Twilio\Rest\Client;

$sid = 'your_twilio_account_sid';
$token = 'your_twilio_auth_token';
$twilio_number = 'your_twilio_phone_number';

$client = new Client($sid, $token);

$fax = $client->fax->v1->faxes
    ->create("+15558675310", // Destination fax number
        array(
            "mediaUrl" => "https://www.example.com/fax.pdf", // URL to the PDF file to be faxed
            "from" => $twilio_number
        )
    );

echo "Fax sent with SID: " . $fax->sid;
