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

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();

$Updates = $MadelineProto->messages->forwardMessages(['silent' => Bool, 'background' => Bool, 'with_my_score' => Bool, 'from_peer' => InputPeer, 'id' => [int, int], 'to_peer' => InputPeer, ]);

Or, if you're into Lua:

Updates = messages.forwardMessages({silent=Bool, background=Bool, with_my_score=Bool, from_peer=InputPeer, id={int}, to_peer=InputPeer, })
