hi @jacklul
thanks for the link..
can you write an example that how i should create my project?
i mean do i need to control inputs using normal getupdates? (curl)
when i can use this library to get user inputs and reply them?
and how?

i don't know if is it possible to get all inputs using this library?? if yes: how?
i already using example code that gives me this:
./getUpdatesCLI.php 2017-07-03 08:28:27 - Processed 0 updates

but i want to control inputs

save some of them inside database and show some buttons and keyboard..
please help me

You can control inputs by using custom commands.

To test this, you can add some custom commands (from the example-bot repo that @jacklul linked above), for example the WhoamiCommand.php one, to a Commands folder in your project.
Then add that folder to your code using $telegram->addCommandsPath(__DIR__ . '/Commands');.

You can then send /whoami to your bot and call your getUpdatesCLI.php script.
The bot will then process your message and send you a reply.

Also, you will see the output of the command change to Processed 1 updates.

From there I suggest you play around with the /whoami command file to see how it works.

As instructed on https://github.com/php-telegram-bot/core#getupdate-installation

give the file permission to execute:

chmod 775 getUpdateCLI.php

then run

./getUpdateCLI.php

So you should connect to your server and run the getUpdateCLI.php using the command line.

[noplanman]

Better would be to use the webhook, if you can. Otherwise you will have to execute the getUpdatesCLI.php in a loop, to make sure that there is no delay for users.
