PHP eFax
Faxes from your Internet Server
PHP eFax is a PHP class that wraps the eFax® Developer API.
Use PHP eFax to automate the task of sending and receiving faxes electronically from your
PHP-powered web server. All you need is an account with
eFax® Developer
and you are set to go. Processing is usually instantaneous.
Here's how the send feature of our PHP fax script works
(See Algorithm):
- Insert our class in your PHP code,
- Create an instance of a PHP eFax object,
- Set your PHP eFax account information,
- Add the documents you want to be faxed, and
- Call the
send() function
It is that easy1!
PHP eFax also allows you to analyze the response you get from the eFax system.
Since eFax Developer tells you whether faxes were successfully sent or
not, PHP eFax helps you automate this task. It includes all of
the over 200 error messages that eFax Developer can generate and with
just 4 or 5 lines of PHP code, you will get all the information you need
about the fax disposition.
PHP eFax can be used to parse the XML message sent by
eFax Developer whenever you receive a fax. This feature helps you greatly
since the XML file can easily include 40 tags or more. PHP eFax
transforms the XML data in a set of private variables that you can query
with one of the 13 simple get() functions.

We tested and are using PHP eFax with PHP version 5.
However, all the elements we use should work as well with PHP 4
and PHP 6. |

HttpRequest is not required to receive faxes. You can use
the parse_inbound_message() function without it. |
