MadelineProto Example (now async for huge speed and parallelism!):

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();

$messages_SentEncryptedMessage = $MadelineProto->messages->sendEncryptedService(['peer' => InputEncryptedChat, 'message' => DecryptedMessage, ]);

Or, if you're into Lua:

messages_SentEncryptedMessage = messages.sendEncryptedService({peer=InputEncryptedChat, message=DecryptedMessage, })

Return value

If the length of the provided message is bigger than 4096, the message will be split in chunks and the method will be called multiple times, with the same parameters (except for the message), and an array of messages_SentEncryptedMessage will be returned instead.

Errors this method can return:

Error	Description
DATA_INVALID	Encrypted data invalid
ENCRYPTION_DECLINED	The secret chat was declined
MSG_WAIT_FAILED	A waiting call returned an error
USER_IS_BLOCKED	User is blocked
