Here is a notice that is found at the top of faxrcvd in HylaFAX+ ...

# ============================================
#
# A NOTE ON CUSTOMIZING this script:
#
# You are welcome (even encouraged) to customize this script to suit the
# needs of the deployment.  However, be advised that this script is
# considered part of the package distribution and is subject to being
# overwritten by subsequent upgrades.  Please consider copying this file
# to something like "etc/faxrcvd-custom", modifying that copy of the file,
# and then setting "FaxRcvdCmd: etc/faxrcvd-custom" in your modem config
# file to prevent your customizations from being overwritten during an
# upgrade process.
#
# ============================================

So essentially, take a look at 'man faxrcvd'...

http://hylafax.sourceforge.net/man/faxrcvd.php

Create your PHP script to accept the same input options.  Then set 
FaxRcvdCmd to point at your PHP script (make sure the PHP script is 
marked executable).

You may want to take a look at the AvantFAX setup.  It essentially does 
the same thing (and it uses PHP, even).

Thanks,

Lee.
