Logging in

There are many ways you can login with MadelineProto.

• Automatic
• Manual (user)
• Manual (bot)
• Logout

Automatic

$MadelineProto->start();

This will start an interactive login prompt via console (if running via CLI), or a login web UI (if running in the browser).
You will get to choose if login as user, or as bot.

Manual (user)

$MadelineProto->phone_login(readline('Enter your phone number: '));
$authorization = $MadelineProto->complete_phone_login(readline('Enter the phone code: '));
if ($authorization['_'] === 'account.password') {
    $authorization = $MadelineProto->complete_2fa_login(readline('Please enter your password (hint '.$authorization['hint'].'): '));
}
if ($authorization['_'] === 'account.needSignup') {
    $authorization = $MadelineProto->complete_signup(readline('Please enter your first name: '), readline('Please enter your last name (can be empty): '));
}

First, you must call phone_login to send the verification code, see here for the parameters and the result.
Then, use complete_phone_login to complete the login, see here for the parameters and the result.

Use complete_2FA_login to complete the login to an account with 2FA enabled, see here for the parameters and the result.

If the account does not have an account, use complete_signup to signup, see here for the parameters and the result.

Manual (bot)

$MadelineProto->bot_login('34298141894:aflknsaflknLKNFS');

Use bot_login to login as a bot, see here for the parameters and the result.

Note that when you login as a bot, MadelineProto also logins using the PWRTelegram API, to allow persistant storage of peers, even after a logout and another login.

Logout

$MadelineProto->logout();

If you want to logout, you can use the logout function, see here for the parameters and the result.
