Probably the easiest method would be to use the eFax API.

If you need to send directly from a machine you control, the complications start.

1- What platform are you running on?
Windows, Linux, MacOS, etc.

3- Is there a fax modem in the machine(s)?

4- If your fax machine is separate, does it have a computer interface?

5- How advanced are your programming skills? Not at all an insult, but it does impact how much you'll need to hit the books.

6- But as mentioned first, the easiest solution is to use an external API.

7- I just looked up some of your earlier posts and it appears that you're running on Windows. Your options might be a little easier as there are a number of fax solutions available for Windows.

Then you'll probably need to have php print to the fax. You'll need to figure out the specifics for your printer/fax and have the driver setup properly and available.
