Well, your intentions are a bit vague as expressed here. I'm assuming that you want to send faxes to other fax machines initiated via e-mail. Am I right? If so, and assuming you're using *NIX, then you may want to consider HylaFAX (http://www.hylafax.org). It comes with a feature called faxmail which is intended for this very purpose, however, you can very easily implement a procmail recipe to do almost the same thing also, which is what I've done. All of that configuration is documented on the website. See the HOW-TO. As for PHP's application in it... you could conceivably create a front-end client for HylaFAX using a PHP-driven page... or simply something like IMP. Lee.
