SMTP protocol doesn't save sent email to mailbox at all, this is what IMAP client applications usually do.
You can try to develop an iRedAPD plugin to save a copy of sent emails.

Re: smtp not saving email in sent folder like gmail smtp user address

iRedAPD works without iRedAdmin-Pro, you can also manage iRedAPD with its command line tool, or SQL command line directly.

Another solution is, improve your php script to save a copy of email to mailbox via IMAP service after sent the email.
