$MadelineProto->session = 'mySession.madeline';
if (isset($token)) { // Login as a bot
    $MadelineProto->bot_login($token);
}
if (isset($number)) { // Login as a user
    $MadelineProto->phone_login($number);
    $code = readline('Enter the code you received: '); // Or do this in two separate steps in an HTTP API
    $MadelineProto->complete_phone_login($code);
}

$Updates = $MadelineProto->messages->sendBroadcast(['contacts' => [InputUser], 'message' => 'string', 'media' => InputMedia, ]);

Or, if you're using the PWRTelegram HTTP API:

As a bot:

POST/GET to https://api.pwrtelegram.xyz/botTOKEN/madeline

Parameters:

• method - messages.sendBroadcast
• params - {"contacts": [InputUser], "message": "string", "media": InputMedia, }

As a user:

POST/GET to https://api.pwrtelegram.xyz/userTOKEN/messages.sendBroadcast

Parameters:

contacts - Json encoded array of InputUser

message - Json encoded string

media - Json encoded InputMedia

Or, if you're into Lua:

Updates = messages.sendBroadcast({contacts={InputUser}, message='string', media=InputMedia, })

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 Updates will be returned instead.
