$bot->cmd('/whoami|!whoami', function () {
    // Get message properties
    $message = Bot::message();
    $name = $message['from']['first_name'];
    $userId = $message['from']['id'];
    $text = 'You are <b>'.$name.'</b> and your ID is <code>'.$userId.'</code>';
    $options = [
        'parse_mode' => 'html',
        'reply' => true
    ];

    return Bot::sendMessage($text, $options);
});

$bot->run();

Then run

php file.php

You can also see my other sample.

NOTE:

• If function parameters is more than one, PHPTelebot will split text by space.
• If you don't set chat_id on options bot will send message to current chat.
• If you add option reply => true, bot will reply current message (Only work if you don't set custom chat_id and reply_to_mesage_id).

Commands

Use $bot->cmd(<command>, <function>) to handle command.

// simple answer
$bot->cmd('*', 'I am a bot');

// catch multiple commands
$bot->cmd('/start|/help', function () {
   // Do something here.
});

// call a function name
function googleSearch($search) {
   // Do something here.
}
$bot->cmd('/google', 'googleSearch');

Use * to catch any command.

File upload

This code will send a photo to users when type command /upload.

// Simple photo upload
$bot->cmd('/upload', function () {
    $file = '/path/to/photo.png'; // File path, file id, or url.
    return Bot::sendPhoto($file);
});

Events

Use $bot->on(<event>, <function>) to handle all possible PHPTelebot events.

To handle inline message, just add:

$bot->on('inline', function($text) {
    $results[] = [
        'type' => 'article',
        'id' => 'unique_id1',
        'title' => $text,
        'message_text' => 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet',
    ];
    $options = [
        'cache_time' => 3600,
    ];

    return Bot::answerInlineQuery($results, $options);
});
