messages.sendMessage	messages.sendMessage parameters, return type and example

Method: messages.sendMessage

Back to methods index

Parameters:

Name	Type	Required
peer	InputPeer	Yes
message	string	Yes

Return type: messages_SentMessage

Example:

$MadelineProto = new \danog\MadelineProto\API();
if (isset($token)) { // Login as a bot
    $MadelineProto->bot_login($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);
}

$messages_SentMessage = $MadelineProto->messages->sendMessage(['peer' => InputPeer, 'message' => string, ]);

Or, if you're into Lua:

messages_SentMessage = messages.sendMessage({peer=InputPeer, message=string, })

Return value

If the length of the provided message is bigger than 4096, the message will be split in chunks and the method will be called multiple times, with the same parameters (except for the message), and an array of messages_SentMessage will be returned instead.
