### 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();

$Bool = $MadelineProto->account->registerDevice(['token_type' => int, 'token' => 'string', 'app_sandbox' => Bool, 'secret' => 'bytes', 'other_uids' => [int, int], ]);
```

Or, if you're into Lua:

```lua
Bool = account.registerDevice({token_type=int, token='string', app_sandbox=Bool, secret='bytes', other_uids={int}, })
```
