It is possible to do anything you wish with php because of the exec() function this allows you to bridge the normal abilities of php's scope to get into other applications. 1 way would be this 1) A html form builds the fax document to be sent 2) Php processes data into a text file pdf gif jpg etc. 3) Php saves said file to a temp file name that is arbitray constant so your fax program knows exactly what to do 4) A program like autoit or something else (like a macro) opens your fax sending program and sends the arbitrary file 5) Php regains control after the exec returns a success message and deletes said arbitrary file 6) Php returns a message to the user saying it was sent.
