For me, I had to send my weekly time sheets to the employer along with a word document highlighting the details of the work sent. Instead of being another element in the crowd to use one of those routine methods of visiting a fax machine in the front office, I just thought I would innovate on a quick browser based utility which would pick up the documents, format them neatly, send one copy to the employer and archive one copy with us for our reference.
I am sharing one stripped down baseline version of this utility here (code shared through Github Gist).
You can run using any PHP version (5.2 or above). You need Interfax username and password for the same.
