```
$MadelineProto = new \danog\MadelineProto\API();
if (isset($token)) { // Login as a bot
$this->bot_login($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);
}
$Chats = $MadelineProto->searchChats(['query' => string, 'limit' => int, ]);
```

```
Chats = searchChats({query=string, limit=int, })
```
