MadelineProto

Created by Daniil Gentili, licensed under AGPLv3.

Logo created by Matthew Hesketh (thanks again!).

PHP implementation of MTProto, based on telepy.

This project can run on PHP 7, PHP 5.6 and HHVM, only 64 bit systems are supported ATM.

Also note that MadelineProto will perform better if a big math extension like gmp or bcmath is installed.

This project is in beta state.

The MadelineProto API documentation can be found here (layer 57).

The MadelineProto API documentation (mtproto tl scheme) can be found here.

The MadelineProto API documentations (old layers) can be found here.

Usage

Dependencies

This project depends on PHPStruct, phpseclib, https://packagist.org/packages/paragonie/constant_time_encoding and https://packagist.org/packages/paragonie/random_compat

To install dependencies install composer and run:

composer update

In the cloned repo.

Instantiation

$MadelineProto = new \danog\MadelineProto\API();

Settings

The constructor accepts an optional parameter, which is the settings array. This array contains some other arrays, which are the settings for a specific MadelineProto function.
Here you can see the default values for the settings\ arrays and explanations for every setting:

$settings = [
    'authorization' => [ // Authorization settings
        'default_temp_auth_key_expires_in' => 31557600, // validity of temporary keys and the binding of the temporary and permanent keys

    ],
];

You can provide part of any subsetting array, that way the remaining arrays will be automagically set to default and undefined values of specified subsetting arrays will be set to the default values.
Example:

$settings = [
    'authorization' => [ // Authorization settings
        'default_temp_auth_key_expires_in' => 86400, // a day
    ]
]

Becomes:

$settings = [
    'authorization' => [ // Authorization settings
        'default_temp_auth_key_expires_in' => 86400,
        'rsa_key'                          => '-----BEGIN RSA PUBLIC KEY-----

Slv8kg9qv1m6XHVQY3PnEw+QQtqSIXklHwIDAQAB
-----END RSA PUBLIC KEY-----',
    ]
    // The remaining subsetting arrays are the set to default
]

Note that only settings arrays or values of a settings array will be set to default.

The settings array can be accessed in the instantiated class like this:

$MadelineProto = new \danog\MadelineProto\API();
var_dump($MadelineProto->get_settings());

The settings array can be modified in the instantiated class like this:

$MadelineProto = new \danog\MadelineProto\API();
$settings = $MadelineProto->get_settings();
// Make changes to $settings
$MadelineProto->update_settings($settings);

Handling updates

When an update is received, the update callback function (see settings) is called. By default, the get_updates_update_handler MadelineProto method is called. This method stores all incoming updates into an array (its size limit is specified by the updates_array_limit parameter in the settings) and can be fetched by running the get_updates method.
This method accepts an array of options as the first parameter, and returns an array of updates. Example:

$MadelineProto = new \danog\MadelineProto\API();
// Login or deserialize

$offset = 0;
while (true) {
    $updates = $MadelineProto->API->get_updates(['offset' => $offset, 'limit' => 50, 'timeout' => 1]); // Just like in the bot API, you can specify an offset, a limit and a timeout
    foreach ($updates as $update) {
        $offset = $update['update_id']; // Just like in the bot API, the offset must be set to the last update_id
        // Parse $update['update'], that is an object of type Update
    }
    var_dump($updates);
}

To specify a custom callback change the correct value in the settings. The specified callable must accept one parameter for the update.

Calling mtproto methods and available wrappers

The API documentation can be found here.
To call an MTProto method simply call it as if it is a method of the API class, substitute namespace sepators (.) with -> if needed. Also, an object of type User, InputUser, Chat, InputChannel, Peer or InputPeer must be provided as a parameter to a method, you can substitute it with the user/group/channel's username or bot API id.

$MadelineProto = new \danog\MadelineProto\API();
$checkedPhone = $MadelineProto->auth->checkPhone( // auth.checkPhone becomes auth->checkPhone
    [
        'phone_number'     => '3993838383', // Random invalid number, note that there should be no +
    ]
);
$ping = $MadelineProto->ping([3]); // parameter names can be omitted as long as the order specified by the TL scheme is respected
$message = "Hey! I'm sending this message with MadelineProto!";
$sentMessage = $MadelineProto->messages->sendMessage(['peer' => '@danogentili', 'message' => $message]);
var_dump($sentMessage);

The API class also provides some wrapper methods for logging in as a bot or as a normal user, and for getting inputPeer constructors to use in sendMessage and other methods:

$sentCode = $MadelineProto->phone_login($number); // Send code
var_dump($sentCode);
echo 'Enter the code you received: ';
$code = '';
for ($x = 0; $x < $sentCode['type']['length']; $x++) {
    $code .= fgetc(STDIN);
}
$authorization = $MadelineProto->complete_phone_login($code); // Complete authorization
var_dump($authorization);

$authorization = $MadelineProto->bot_login($token); // Note that every time you login as a bot or as a user MadelineProto will logout first, so now MadelineProto is logged in as the bot with token $token, not as the user with number $number
var_dump($authorization);

See testing.php for more examples.

Storing sessions

An istance of MadelineProto can be safely serialized or unserialized. To serialize MadelineProto to a file, usage of the \danog\MadelineProto\Serialization class is recommended:

$MadelineProto = \danog\MadelineProto\Serialization::deserialize('session.madeline');
// Do stuff
\danog\MadelineProto\Serialization::serialize('session.madeline', $MadelineProto);

That class serializes only if the $MadelineProto->API->should_serialize boolean is set to true. The same operation should be done when serializing to another destination manually, to avoid conflicts with other PHP scripts that are trying to serialize another instance of the class.

Exceptions

MadelineProto can throw three different exceptions:

• \danog\MadelineProto\Exception - Default exception, thrown when a php error occures and in a lot of other cases
• \danog\MadelineProto\RPCErrorException - Thrown when an RPC error occurres (an error received via the mtproto API)
• \danog\MadelineProto\TL\Exception - Thrown on TL serialization/deserialization errors
