Can I send a fax using PHP?
I need a FAX gateway PHP API for my website.
I have a script that generates a report for a Customer and then it will be sent to the spcified Fax Nr. provided by the customer.
As shown ablve, this is a duplicate, but here was the main answer (by: Douwe Maan):
As fax is not internet-based like email, there is no easy way to do this, like you can send emails using mail().
You can, though, use PHP to talk to an internet fax service, as described here: http://www.interfax.net/en/dev/php

How to protect html form from spammers?
(10 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
I have a form, and I need to send information from it with SMS. Though I need to protect myself from people that will intentionally send lots of these SMS (that are not free, obviously).
What should I use? Cookies, sessions, blocking buttons with JS, what else?
I also use SMS for various services in my application.
Here is a suggestion that you can try:
Store all the data in Database that has been sent in the SMS, such as Sender user id, Phone no. and message along with a time stamp.
Now that you have data, you can put limit on how many SMS should be sent per day/hour by reading the details of that specific user from the database.

It seems that you need to populate the content with HTML for the linkage. (maybe A tag..)

Have you compiled PHP yourself, or using XAMPP etc.? In any case, if you correctly configure SMTP you can send email from local.

I'm developing an online penny auction system on PHP and MySQL. The problem is that the system gives three bids FREE per signup.
Many people register with invalid email accounts like y95dka9k7y024qn5#mailcatch.com or yopmail.com or any of that.
How I can block these accounts automatic? For now I do it manually, when I see there are more than 3 accounts invalid.
But how could I do it automatic?
During the subscription, when you check the email availability,
check also if the email end with one of theses host name:
mailcatch.com
yopmail.com
...
If it's the case, just explain that theses hostname are forbidden.

Sending SMS from PHP
I have users. They've entered their mobile phones. How can I send them notifications to their mobile phones (SMS) when I want? I've found nice service (http://www.zeepmobile.com/), but they send SMS only to people who subscribed to them. I need to implement it with PHP. Thanks.
I used openmarket API to send SMS to anybody. They have pretty good documentation and SMS SDK http://www.openmarket.com/resources/sdk-download/ for different languages. Also they can send MMS too.
You can also try www.bulksms.com and send out SMS as an email. Just make sure your country is supported and yes you will need to pay a few cents for every SMS. But sending SMS is pretty easy. All what you need to do is send out email to:
[COUNTRY_CODE][CELL_PHONE_NUMBER]#bulksms.com
After purchasing some SMS's on BulkSMS.com you will also have some kind of admmin panel there. You need to set a password which you need to later use it as a email subject in order to send out SMS.
With PHP you can use mail function like:
mail("038640123456#bulksms.com", "Subject + [YOUR_CHOSEN_PASS]", "This is test SMS..");
Use Tropo.com its nice, easy to implement and less expensive.

how to make a php script that read an email from the server?
So I want an app to send the user an email, and the user has to respond. How do I capture what the user sent back to the email?
Check the In-Reply-To header of the reply to find out which message it relates to.
There are two possibilities:
Set up a regular off-the-shelf email server, and something to parse the inbox.
Set up a special php email server that listens on port 22 and processes the incoming mail - something like james but php-based. If nothing available you'll have to roll your own.
You have to create some cron job that will retrieve inbox of your email account.
I have implemented simmilar thing but I was using tokens system too - email that was send to user had a random generated token in topic. When user replied I was looking for that token and then associate it with some 'thread' (helpdesk system).
