    $MadelineProto->bot_login($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);
    }

}

$Updates = $MadelineProto->messages->addChatUser(['chat_id' => InputPeer, 'user_id' => InputUser, 'fwd_limit' => int, ]);

```
Updates = messages.addChatUser({chat_id=InputPeer, user_id=InputUser, fwd_limit=int, })
