A simple PHP script to send messages to a Telegram group using a bot. 🤖

📥 Installation
--------------

[](#-installation)

1. **Clone the Repository:**

    ```
    git clone https://github.com/jaycee0610/Basic-Telegram-Sender-PHP.git
    cd Basic-Telegram-Sender-PHP
    ```
2. **Install Dependencies:**

    ```
    composer require rootscratch/telegram
    ```

🛠️ Setup Guide
--------------

[](#️-setup-guide)

### 📌 Step 1: Create a Telegram Bot

[](#-step-1-create-a-telegram-bot)

- Open Telegram and search for `@BotFather`. 🤖
- Start a chat with `@BotFather` and create a new bot.
- Once created, you will receive a **bot token**. Save this token for later use. 🔑

### 📌 Step 2: Create a Group and Add the Bot

[](#-step-2-create-a-group-and-add-the-bot)

- Create a new Telegram group.
- Add your bot to the group.
- Send any message in the group to initialize it. 🆕

### 📌 Step 3: Get the List of Updates

[](#-step-3-get-the-list-of-updates)

To retrieve the updates for your bot, use the following API request:

```
https://api.telegram.org/bot/getUpdates

```

**Example:**

```
https://api.telegram.org/bot123456789:jbd78sadvbdy63d37gda37bd8/getUpdates

```

### 📌 Step 4: Find the Chat ID

[](#-step-4-find-the-chat-id)

Look for the "chat" object in the API response:

```
{
    "update_id": 8393,
    "message": {
        "message_id": 3,
        "from": {
            "id": 7474,
            "first_name": "AAA"
        },
        "chat": {
            "id": -,
            "title": ""
        },
        "date": 25497,
        "new_chat_participant": {
            "id": 71,
            "first_name": "NAME",
            "username": "YOUR_BOT_NAME"
        }
    }
}
```

- The `id` inside the "chat" object is your **Group Chat ID** and always starts with `-`. 🆔
- Use this ID when sending messages to the group. 📩

**Note:**If you created a new group and the API response only returns:

```
{"ok": true, "result": []}
```

Try removing and re-adding the bot to the group. 🔄

🚀 Usage
-------

[](#-usage)

1. **Modify `index.php`:**

    ```
    require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

    use Rootscratch\Telegram\Send;

    Send::telegram_token('your-bot-token-here');
    Send::telegram_chat_id('-your-chat-id-here');
    $message = 'Hello, Telegram!';

    try {
        $send = Send::SendGroup($message);
        echo json_encode($send);
    } catch (\Exception $e) {
        echo json_encode(['error' => $e->getMessage()]);
    }
    ```
2. **Run the script:**

    ```
    php index.php
    ```

📡 API Response Example
----------------------

[](#-api-response-example)

```
{
    "ok": true,
    "result": {
        "message_id": 123,
        "chat": {
            "id": -1001234567890,
            "title": "My Telegram Group"
        },
        "text": "Hello, Telegram!"
    }
}
```

⚠️ Troubleshooting
------------------

[](#️-troubleshooting)

- If you get `{"ok":true,"result":[]}` when retrieving updates, try removing and re-adding the bot to the group. 🔄
- Make sure the bot has permission to send messages in the group. ✅
