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();

$Updates = $MadelineProto->messages->sendMedia(['silent' => Bool, 'background' => Bool, 'clear_draft' => Bool, 'peer' => InputPeer, 'reply_to_msg_id' => int, 'media' => InputMedia, 'reply_markup' => ReplyMarkup, ]);

Or, if you're into Lua:

Updates = messages.sendMedia({silent=Bool, background=Bool, clear_draft=Bool, peer=InputPeer, reply_to_msg_id=int, media=InputMedia, reply_markup=ReplyMarkup, })
