So unfortunately I'm stuck on PHP 5.2.3 and cannot upgrade, thus cannot use the official PHP SDK. I need examples of how to set up the FaxOut after obtaining a valid Access Token. Been stuck for the past 3 days.
I can show you how to do it with curl. You try to adjust it for PHP curl.
curl \
--header "Accept: application/json" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
-F "request=@request.json;type=application/json" \
-F " attachment=@hello.txt;type=text/plain" \
" https://platform.devtest.ringcentral.com/restapi/v1.0/account/~/extension/~/fax";
Content of request.json file:
{
"to": [{ "phoneNumber": <fax receiver> }]
}
Content of hello.txt:
<Whatever text you want to send.>
You can also send pdf:
-F " attachment=@test.pdf;type=application/pdf"
curl \
--header "Accept: application/json" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
-F "request=@request.json;type=application/json" \
-F " attachment=@hello.txt;type=text/plain" \
" https://platform.devtest.ringcentral.com/restapi/v1.0/account/~/extension/~/fax";
Content of request.json file:
{
"to": [{ "phoneNumber": <fax receiver> }]
}
Content of hello.txt:
<Whatever text you want to send.>
You can also send pdf:
-F " attachment=@test.pdf;type=application/pdf"
Been stuck for the past 3 days.You should have asked for help earlier :)
But how do I translate that to PHP cURL lib?... such as using curl_init(), curl-setopt(), etc?
Ya, 1.5 days were stuck reading docs and the other 1.5 days were trying to implement things fruitlessly.

Drew,
Try out my PHP "Lite" SDK. It's a 1-file, 0-dependency library designed to support older PHP and uses cURL.
You can see a fax example using the SDK here:
https://github.com/grokify/ringcentral-sdk-php-lite#send-a-fax
You can see the SDK's cURL code here:
https://github.com/grokify/ringcentral-sdk-php-lite/blob/master/src/ringcentrallite.php#L139
I don't have PHP 5.2.3, so let me know if it works for you.

Ah, this looks nice! I'll get this a shot and see if I can get this to work with my set up. I'll let you know how it goes.
If you have any suggestions please feel free to post here or create a GitHub issue or pull request. I'm interested in improving this as needed.
Ok, so how do I do multiple attachments? I tried passing in an array into 'attachment' of the param, but throws error. Any thoughts, suggestions? I need to fax multiple documents at one time.
PHP cURL does not seem to have the ability to post multiple files with the same name as other solutions can. The cURL CLI app and other solutions like Faraday in Ruby can do this.
The best solution using PHP cURL seems to be to manually build a multipart/form-data post. Let me know if you can get this to work. I'll look into this but it might be a while before I can get to it.

Another solution is to invoke the command line curl to get the job done:

Here is an article about cURL for RingCentral API: https://medium.com/@tylerlong/use-curl-to-access-ringcentral-platform-api-d4710fe68fa4

Curl to PHP:

Update: I find that it doesn't support '-F' at all, so ignore this one.

Thanks Tyler, I actually figured out how to translate it myself shortly after asking. Gonna see if John's sdk lite works for me, otherwise I'll roll my own and let you guys know how it does.
