I use Webhook Method and when I open my set.php via browser, I get "Webhook was set" message.
but:
The bot doesn't reply
The log file is empty

My server has self-signed certificate.
I don't know how can I set public key certificate according https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#setwebhook method.

Can u say me, What should I do ????

I can only get hook.php running if I take ./vendor/longman/telegram-bot/example-hook.php and uncomment $telegram->enableMySQL($credentials);.

Then all commands sent to the bot are logged in the MySQL table messages while hook.php answers the HTTP request from the Telegram API server with a HTTP/500 and also the error reported in #38 is logged.

If I activate another command, e.g. $telegram->addCommandsPath($COMMANDS_FOLDER);, hook.php answers with a HTTP/200 and no error logged, but nothing is written into the messages table – very strange!

i appreciate your effort for this library .
but i have one question , trying to figure out why

$a_result= json_decode($result, true) // parse as array, not object
$o_message = new Message($a_result,$c_bot_name) // make messageobject from array

my question is, why decode with a array,
is there any problem or some other reasons that you do not make a target object from object?
(example)
$o_result= json_decode($result) // parse as object
$o_message = new Message($o_result,$c_bot_name) // make object from object

Hello! Very nice work!
I manage to install it becouse the method:
$telegram->setWebHook('https://yourdomain/yourpath_to_hook.php');
does not exist!
I tryed to add it like this
public function setWebHook($url_hook){
return Request::send('setWebhook',array('url'=>urlencode($url_hook)));
}

but i get a bad request from telegram api

finally i set up the web hook simply with:
https://api.telegram.org/bot{token}/setWebhook?url=https://yourdomain.org/yourpath/hook.php

Seems to me that telegram api don't accept escaped slash like:
https://yourdomain.org/yourpath/hook.php

I just started looking into telegram bots and I've found this really nice repo with a lot of interesting stuff. I tried to follow the instructions to install it, but I fail somewhere (I've never installed a php application actually, so I was just shooting in the dark), so I'm asking if someone could help me to get the bot working please.

I'm struck at the point where I pull the whole repo in my computer and I do "php composer.phar install". Now I'm stuck.
How can I start the php server?

Hi guys,
it would be great to develop the /stats admin command!
This command should use as input the messages collected in the DB and then show the number of request per day to the bot.
Is someone interested? Some volunters in the develop of this feature? ;)

When I set up the bot as described in README.md and call set.php, I get:

PHP Catchable fatal error:  Argument 1 passed to Longman\\TelegramBot\\Entities\\ServerResponse::__construct() must be of the type array, null given, called in /myproject/vendor/longman/telegram-bot/src/Request.php on line 152 and defined in /myproject/vendor/longman/telegram-bot/src/Entities/ServerResponse.php on line 26

Hi;
Thanks for this cool script. 👍

I wish that I could find more detailed documentation for your script.

I started to use your script recently and everything seems nice BUT
need to know :
How can I write my own commands?
I did create a class named testCommand in commands folder but this way didn't work.

Would you please help me to create my own command and custom keyboard?

_Thanks in Advance_

I first used getUpdatesCLI.php and works properly every time i will refresh the page manually (Each refresh of the page the bot reply to me). It's ok!

Now I wanted to try to set webhook. After setting the webhook (set.php - Webhook was set!), i try to write in the chat, but the bot does not reply to me .. Then I go to to hook.php page and i get this error:
Input is empty!

What wrong?

The same configuration for getUpdatesCLI.php works

This is my hook.php:

    //Composer Loader
    $loader = require __DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php';
    
    $API_KEY = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXX:XXXXXXXXXXXXX';
    $BOT_NAME = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXX';
    //$COMMANDS_FOLDER = __DIR__.'/src/Commands/';
    $credentials = array('host'=>'localhost', 'user'=>'XXXXXXXXXXXXX', 'password'=>'XXXXXXXXXXXXX', 'database'=>'XXXXXXXXXXXXX');
    
    try {
        // create Telegram API object
        $telegram = new Longman\TelegramBot\Telegram($API_KEY, $BOT_NAME);
    
        //Options
    
        $telegram->enableMySQL($credentials);
        //$telegram->enableMySQL($credentials, $BOT_NAME.'_');
        //$telegram->addCommandsPath($COMMANDS_FOLDER);
        // here you can set some command specified parameters,
        // for example, google geocode/timezone api key for date command:
        //$telegram->setCommandConfig('date', array('google_api_key'=>'your_google_api_key_here'));
        //$telegram->setLogRequests(true);
        //$telegram->setLogPath($BOT_NAME.'.log');
    
    
        // handle telegram webhook request
        $telegram->handle();
    } catch (Longman\TelegramBot\Exception\TelegramException $e) {
        // log telegram errors
        echo $e->getMessage();
    }

Can't send long messages (over 6000).
How to correctly split message and send each part as separate messages?

Looks like it is stored only the first part part of the text before the Emoji.

Hello! The bot holds command like:
/commands@bot args
But this isn't the best way to create a user friendly interface.

I would like to build an interface like this:
user: /weather@bot
bot: Enter location
user: London
bot: Show weather in London

Have you aver think about a way to track all the massage and execute a command at the end?

can you explain step by step installation after creating telegram bot.

Good morning!

I'm testing the code, trying to implement a command that uses mysql as storage.

I've seen that on a recent update of the source now the pdo variable it's inside a new DB class... but I cannot figure out how to use the class to make custom queries to the database...

Can anyone help me please?

Thanks in advance, Sergio

First of all thank you for this incredible library 👍
My problem is: In a channel with two other bots (ImageBot and PollBot) when I try to use the command /help@MyBot it does not work, using only /help the command is executed correctly but triggers the same command over the other two bots. Is there anything else that needs to be configured so the command /help@MyBot can be used? I'm using the latest release.

Hello! I've notice that in chat with other bots the command are send like:
/echo@bot1
/weather@bot2
and so on..
So this bot is able to recognise /echo but not /echo@mybot

I would like to contribute developing this feature

i want use persian command in my telegram bot
How can I do this?

Hello, after install and setup properly I got this error:

FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function isEnabled() on a non-object in /var/www/vendor/longman/telegram-bot/src/Commands/HelpCommand.php

could you please help me this that?

Hi!

If the bot receives an undefined command something like that is thrown in the apache logs:

[Mon Aug 31 10:55:02.370494 2015] [:error] [pid 17414] [client 149.154.167.198:47253] PHP Fatal error:  Class 'Longman\\TelegramBot\\Commands\\GeloCommand' not found in /var/www/html/bot/vendor/longman/telegram-bot/src/Telegram.php

How can I deal with that? Which class do I need to tamper with to catch that error and, for example, reply some text to suggest the use of /help??

Thanks!

I try to set up hook.php but with little success so far.

1. The minimum example:

try {
   $telegram = new Longman\TelegramBot\Telegram($API_KEY, $BOT_NAME);
   $telegram->enableMySQL($credentials);
   // later commands are handled here
   $telegram->handle();
}

works so far.

1. However, if I add commands (is it correct to do this before the method $telegram->handle()?), MySQL logging stops working and the web server error_log logs 500 Internal Server Error (see #39).
2. Exceptions are logged but not when (1) happened. I can have an exception logged by calling php hook.php from command line, then the exception says exception 'Longman\TelegramBot\Exception\TelegramException' with message 'Input is empty!' so exception logging should work.
3. My basic question is: What is the exact way to add any functionality to above minimum example such as echo or whoami?

Is this correct?

$echo = new Longman\TelegramBot\Commands\EchoCommand;    
$echo->execute();

Or this way?

$telegram->executeCommand('echo', $update);

Or both? I cannot figure this out without diving into the classes but it should be clear in the documentation already.

The point is, I believe that Telegram API stops sending me requests if I produce to many server errors. Because after trying this out, even the basic example above stops working (MySQL no longer logs anything) and I have to wait a day or so and suddenly it works again.

Please provide a minimum working example in README.md with which users can instantly get at least the /echo Telegram bot command working.

I don't know if this would be a minimum working example, but please add something like the following to README.md to make it clear and instantly get a working bot:

try {
   $telegram = new Longman\TelegramBot\Telegram($API_KEY, $BOT_NAME);
   $telegram->enableMySQL($credentials);
   $echo = new Longman\TelegramBot\Commands\EchoCommand; // or whatever is correct to activate "/echo"
   $echo->execute();
   $telegram->handle();
}

If this would be easy to get started with, I think it will be a great success! Thank you.

Hello.

I want my bot to receive some messages and store them on local database (mysql).
what is your suggestion?
please help me.

Regards.

Hi,

First of all thanks for your code and work, it makes very easy to make a bot.

I want to send emojis and I can't see how to do it.

I've sent to a log file all messages I recive and I sent in the conversation with the bot. Then I sent to the bot all the emojis I want. Then I tried to resent the message I recived and the emoji was shown.

But, when I try to send the text I have in my log file, it doesn't work at all...

My log:
2015-10-29 8:48:31 Jontxu ha puesto lo siguiente : \ud83d\udc4e\n\n"

In my code I tried all I find:

$data['text'] .= "\n" . '\ud83d\udc4e\n\n'

OR

$data['text'] .= "\n" . utf8_encode('\ud83d\udc4e\n\n')

OR

$data['text'] .= "\n" . utf8_decode('\ud83d\udc4e\n\n')

OR as I have read here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31279158/unicode-characters-like-emoticons-in-telegram-bot-message-or-keyboard

$data['text'] .= "\n" . '\xF0\x9F\x91\x8E'

Can you please give me a clue?

Thanks!

I'm working on class that build the json query to fill the reply_markup parameters in send message, this will let you create keyboard faster.

Hello there, i noticed that some custom name commands work and others not.
I didn't set any custom path, i directly wrote inside the original commands path... i made a command that allows to see the user stats, it just works fine but only under specific names "/slap"...i tried it with "/SeeStats" and it didn't work. I also created another command under the name "/SetWelcome" and this works. What can i do?

i wanna to send 10 or more message in one action to all my bot members

telegram permit us to this action. i mean, can i send a message for all my bot members with out any theirs request?

I have wrote a new command based on help command

<?php
namespace Longman\TelegramBot\Commands;

use Longman\TelegramBot\Request;
use Longman\TelegramBot\Command;
use Longman\TelegramBot\Entities\Update;

class NicoCommand extends Command
{
    public function execute() {
        $update = $this->getUpdate();
        $message = $this->getMessage();

        $chat_id = $message->getChat()->getId();
        $text = $message->getText(true);

        $data = array();
        $data['chat_id'] = $chat_id;
        $data['text'] = "Sorry, ........";

        $result = Request::sendMessage($data);
    }
}

But when I write /nico it not work 😢

What's wrong ?

(Sorry for my bad english 😁 )

Due to an error in the Hoa packages the entire bots hangs on the /calc example. The other examples are clear enough to understand the API and how to implement your own commands. Took me a few hours to debug the whole thing to finally come to the conclusion its not this package that causes the problems.

Hi
thanks for this script
When I send a message, the message sent to users is 8 to 9 series.

please help me.

Hello,

I was playing around this (great) library and I noticed that most of the examples use the chat_id as the key for sending messages.

I was wondering if there was a way to send a message to a specific user given the phone number or the user name (knowing both would be awesome). Also, is there a way to initiate a secure chat with such a user?

Cheers and keep up the amazing job!

/Nesh

Hi! I want use multiple bots.
I added this to file hook.php
$telegram->addCommandsPath(BASE_PATH.'/Commands/MuzUzBot');
I created file to folder /vendor/longmang/telegram-bot/src/Commands/MuzUzBot and file HelpCommand.php

This command not working :( How to use it?

Hi, i used getUpdate Method and when opened getUpdateCLI.php , bot does not reply to me , i get this error:

exception 'Longman\TelegramBot\Exception\TelegramException' with message 'SSL certificate problem: self signed certificate in certificate chain' in C:\xampp\htdocs\Longman\TelegramBot\src\Request.php:161 Stack trace: #0 C:\xampp\htdocs\Longman\TelegramBot\src\Request.php(239): Longman\TelegramBot\Request::executeCurl('getUpdates', Array) #1 C:\xampp\htdocs\Longman\TelegramBot\src\Request.php(394): Longman\TelegramBot\Request::send('getUpdates', Array) #2 C:\xampp\htdocs\Longman\TelegramBot\src\Telegram.php(364): Longman\TelegramBot\Request::getUpdates(Array) #3 C:\xampp\htdocs\Longman\TelegramBot\example-getUpdatesCLI.php(42): Longman\TelegramBot\Telegram->handleGetUpdates() #4 {main}

This is my getUpdateCLI.php:

In the latest release I've attached some new class in order to complete the avaiable type.
They are not linked to message entities and not tested yet.
They also have to been upgraded to the last changelog in the telegram api https://core.telegram.org/bots/api.

Hi, is possible to make sequential chat?

I would like to build an interface like this:

Good afternoon. If you try to send a local file, I come across an error PHP Fatal error: Class 'CURLFile' not found in ... /src/Request.php on line 224
I have no idea how to fix it. Thank you.

I forwarded one photo from a third person to my bot and now when I try to run "getUpdatesCLI.php", below error added on error log:

[18-Sep-2015 10:54:19] PHP Catchable fatal error: Object of class Longman\TelegramBot\Entities\User could not be converted to string in /home/x/xxx.com/telegram/vendor/longman/telegram-bot/src/DB.php on line 230

Hi, I tried php-telegram-bot in my local server using Fail fetch getUpdateCLI.php

I just copied getUpdateCLI.php from D:\xampp\htdocs\tgbot\vendor\longman\telegram-bot
to D:\xampp\htdocs\tgbot and edit botkey and boname, I'm also edit database config and import structure.sql.

when I tried to run getUpdateCLI.php, it said 2015-09-12 16:19:13 - Fail fetch updates

but, when I'm using https://api.telegram.org/bot-key/getUpdates
It can give me the updates.

Can u tell me, what's wrong? Am I miss someting?

Dear developers,

I'm glad a fairly popular php client such as this one exists for the telegram bot API. However, as I am walking through the source code, trying to figure out how it works internally, I get confused.

• I see commented lines of code (dead code). I wonder why it is there, whether it is a stub to be implemented, or old code that is no longer relevant, or accidentally left over debugging statements.
  https://github.com/akalongman/php-telegram-bot/blob/master/src/Telegram.php#L597
  https://github.com/akalongman/php-telegram-bot/blob/master/src/Request.php#L142
• Other code that does not seem to be used, obvious from the typo and no single call is made to it:
  https://github.com/akalongman/php-telegram-bot/blob/master/src/Request.php#L85
  https://github.com/akalongman/php-telegram-bot/blob/5d3a1209afdfab9d59e9ac6678c4e6e037dfd1a3/src/Telegram.php#L323
• Verbosity levels seem configurable, yet the Telegram class just randomly print_r's and echo's without looking at verbosity levels. Actually I don't think a library should print anything to stdout at all, unless its purpose is to print things, but that aside.
  https://github.com/akalongman/php-telegram-bot/blob/master/src/Telegram.php#L370
• I see in some places an api call returns the result, in others it prints it, in others it writes it to a database.
  https://github.com/akalongman/php-telegram-bot/blob/master/src/Telegram.php#L347

At this point I am thinking whether I should start contributing on this project or not. I would like to, but such things above make it a bit of a challenge. I would recommend to clean up the code a bit to make it easier for external developers to start contributing. This is just my opinion, but I think it would help the project.

Hello
First of all thanks for implementing the robot code
My problem is on adding new commands to my robot, for example I copied echo command and changed command name to test and rename the file to TestCommand.php but when I enter /test command in my rovot in telegram it just says Command: test not found :(
would you please help about this issue ?

Thanks alot.

It is valid to set URL to an empty string to disable a webhook.
Either not throw exception when URL is empty in setWebHook() or create a disableWebHook() method.
Thanks!!!

telegram How to send message to all our bot members

When I run the code nothing happens ("Input is empty!")
What should I do, what I would write to the bot (for example /newcommand) and he will respone "Hello Dmitry!" ?
Please, help me to write my first simple bot app.

The /whoami build-in command fails if you don't have a profile picture.
It would show "xxxxxbot is typing..."
And that disappears.

The following Stack-trace is then thrown:

There are some errors in logs when I'm trying to use any command (excluding /echo):

How to fix this?

It is now possible to send messages to channels using @channelname as chat_id in the sendMessage method.
However the curl_exec in executeCurl of Request.php breaks since a @ is interpreted as prefixing a file to upload.

Suggested fix is to add:

        if (!empty($data['chat_id']) && substr($data['chat_id'], 0, 1) === '@') {
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SAFE_UPLOAD, true);
        }

before curl_setopt_array($ch, $curlConfig) in function executeCurl
