MadelineProto Example (now async!):

if (!file_exists('madeline.php')) {
    copy('https://phar.madelineproto.xyz/madeline.php', 'madeline.php');
}
define('MADELINE_BRANCH', '');
include 'madeline.php';

$MadelineProto = new \danog\MadelineProto\API('session.madeline');
$MadelineProto->start();

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

Or, if you're into Lua:

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