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->contacts->addContact(['add_phone_privacy_exception' => Bool, 'id' => InputUser, 'first_name' => 'string', 'last_name' => 'string', 'phone' => 'string', ]);

Or, if you're into Lua:

Updates = contacts.addContact({add_phone_privacy_exception=Bool, id=InputUser, first_name='string', last_name='string', phone='string', })
