Chat_id¶
The framework saves the chat_id
of the current user (for private chats), group or channel based on where the update comes from.
All the Bot API methods which don’t take $chat_id
as a parameter will target the current chat.
To target another chat you can use:
- useChatId - withChatId
withChatId¶
This framework method will call the requested Bot API method using the choosed chat_id, without changing the current one.
$contact_command = new PhpBotFramework\Commands\MessageCommand("contact",
function ($bot, $message) {
// This message will be sent to whom pressed /contact
$bot->sendMessage("My creator has been called");
// This message will always be sent to @another_username
$bot->withChatId("31285239382", "sendMessage", "Someone is calling for you");
});
useChatId¶
This method will execute all the logic inside assuming the chat_id
is the one choosed instead of the current.
$bot->useChatId("25929619",
function() use ($bot) {
$bot->sendMessage("This is a new message");
$bot->sendPhoto("logo.png");
});
All methods inside the anonymous function will target the choosed chat_id
.
After the method will be called, the current chat will be the same as before.
