### MadelineProto Example ([now async for huge speed and parallelism!](https://docs.madelineproto.xyz/docs/ASYNC.html)):


```php
if (!file_exists('madeline.php')) {
    copy('https://phar.madelineproto.xyz/madeline.php', 'madeline.php');
}
include 'madeline.php';

$MadelineProto = new \danog\MadelineProto\API('session.madeline');
$MadelineProto->start();

$channels.AdminLogResults = $MadelineProto->channels->getAdminLog(['channel' => InputChannel, 'q' => 'string', 'events_filter' => ChannelAdminLogEventsFilter, 'admins' => [InputUser, InputUser], 'max_id' => long, 'min_id' => long, 'limit' => int, ]);
