public function sendMediaGroup()

        $media[0] = [
            'type' => 'photo',
            'media'=> 'URL1'
        ];
        $media[1] = [
            'type' => 'photo',
            'media'=> 'URL2'
        ];

        $json = json_encode($media);

        $params = [
            'chat_id' => <CHAT_ID>,
            'media' => $json
        ];
        $url = 'https://api.telegram.org/bot<YOUR_TOKEN>/sendMediaGroup?';
        $url = $url.http_build_query($params);
        $ch = curl_init();
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
        curl_exec($ch);
        curl_close($ch);
    }

Fast implementation.

For sendMediaGroup() support, there is a need to refactor the way this package handle files. I have done that in my fork, but the fork is deviated from this one and I don't think it can be easily merged, because I removed some features as well.

$telegram->sendMediaGroup([
            'chat_id' => getenv('CHAT_ID'),
            'media' => [
                new InputMedia([
                    'type' => 'photo',
                    'media' => fopen(__DIR__.'/files/photo1.png', 'rb'),
                    'caption' => 'Test 1',
                ]),
                new InputMedia([
                    'type' => 'photo',
                    'media' => fopen(__DIR__.'/files/photo2.png', 'rb'),
                    'caption' => 'Test 2'
                ]),
            ],
        ]);
