if (isset($token)) { // Login as a bot
    $this->bot_login($token);
}
if (isset($number)) { // Login as a user
    $sentCode = $MadelineProto->phone_login($number);
    echo 'Enter the code you received: ';
    $code = '';
    for ($x = 0; $x < $sentCode['type']['length']; $x++) {
        $code .= fgetc(STDIN);
    }
    $MadelineProto->complete_phone_login($code);
}

$Ok = $MadelineProto->deleteChatHistory(['chat_id' => InputPeer, 'remove_from_chat_list' => Bool, ]);
```

Or, if you're into Lua:

```
Ok = deleteChatHistory({chat_id=InputPeer, remove_from_chat_list=Bool, })
