# MadelineProto, a PHP MTProto telegram client

Do join the official channel, [@MadelineProto](https://t.me/MadelineProto) and the [support groups](https://t.me/pwrtelegramgroup)!


## What's this?

This library can be used to easily interact with Telegram **without** the bot API, just like the official apps.

It can login with a phone number (MTProto API), or with a bot token (MTProto API, **no bot API involved!**).

## Getting started

```php
<?php

if (!file_exists('madeline.php')) {
    copy('https://phar.madelineproto.xyz/madeline.php', 'madeline.php');
}
include 'madeline.php';

// !!! This API id/API hash combination will not work !!!
// !!! You must get your own @ my.telegram.org !!!
$api_id = 0;
$api_hash = '';

$MadelineProto = new \danog\MadelineProto\API('session.madeline', ['app_info' => ['api_id' => $api_id, 'api_hash' => $api_hash]]);
$MadelineProto->start();    

$MadelineProto->messages->sendMessage(['peer' => '@danogentili', 'message' => "Hi!\nThanks for creating MadelineProto! <3"]);
$MadelineProto->channels->joinChannel(['channel' => '@MadelineProto']);
```

Run this code in a browser or in a console.  


Tip: if you receive an error (or nothing), [send us](https://t.me/pwrtelegramgroup) the error message and the `Madeline.log` file that was created in the same directory (if running from a browser).
