/* 1. Cover From 2. Document Path 3. Phone Numbers in array Ex. array('12345678') 4. Job Name 5. Billing Code */ $strCoverFrom = 'Test Cover For Fax'; $strDocument = 'LearnwithGoogle.pdf'; $arrPhoneNumber = array('5105868243'); $strJobName = 'First Test Job'; // Send Fax $arrSendFaxResponse = $objWestFax->sendFax($strCoverFrom, $strDocument, $arrPhoneNumber, $strJobName); if($arrSendFaxResponse['ApiResultOfString']['Success'] == 'true') { $strJobId = $arrSendFaxResponse['ApiResultOfString']['Result']; echo $strJobId; } else { echo $arrSendFaxResponse['ApiResultOfString']['ErrorString']; } |
