if (!file_exists('madeline.php')) {

}
define('MADELINE_BRANCH', '');
include 'madeline.php';
$MadelineProto = new \danog\MadelineProto\API('session.madeline');
$MadelineProto->start();
$messages_SentEncryptedMessage = $MadelineProto->messages->sendEncryptedFile(['peer' => InputEncryptedChat, 'message' => DecryptedMessage, 'file' => InputEncryptedFile, ]);
```

```lua

```
