    echo 'Enter the code you received: ';
    $code = '';
    for ($x = 0; $x < $sentCode['type']['length']; $x++) {
        $code .= fgetc(STDIN);
    }
    $MadelineProto->complete_phone_login($code);
}

$Updates = $MadelineProto->messages->forwardMessages(['broadcast' => Bool, 'silent' => Bool, 'background' => Bool, 'from_peer' => InputPeer, 'id' => [int], 'to_peer' => InputPeer, ]);
