php-telegram-bot/core
Core
This project is a PHP library and development kit for building bots that interact with the Telegram Bot API. It provides a framework for handling user messages, managing inline queries, and delivering media content through both webhooks and polling.
The framework includes a data management layer for storing user profiles, chat histories, and bot states in a relational database to maintain continuity across sessions. It also features administrative access restrictions to limit the execution of sensitive tasks to verified user identifiers.
The system covers a broad set of capabilities including command-pattern dispatching for executing logic based on text patterns, middleware-based request filtering, and adaptive media chunking to comply with API size limits. Additional utilities manage bidirectional file transfers between remote servers and local storage, as well as automated broadcast messaging to users and channels.
Features
- Telegram Bot Frameworks - Provides a specialized PHP framework for building interactive agents and bots on the Telegram platform.
- Relational Database Persistence - Persists structured bot data, user profiles, and chat histories in a relational database to maintain state.
- Relational Database Persistence - Uses relational databases to persist user profiles, chat histories, and bot state for session continuity.
- Bot State Management - Manages the persistence of bot session data and memory across process lifecycles to maintain user experience.
- Command and Pattern Routing - Maps specific text patterns and bot commands to predefined handler functions for executing targeted logic.
- Telegram Webhook Receivers - Receives real-time events from Telegram via HTTP POST webhooks or long-polling to trigger internal logic.
- Webhook Receivers - Includes a server-side receiver to process real-time updates delivered via Telegram webhooks.
- PHP Development Toolkits - Provides a comprehensive toolkit of libraries for handling chat messages, inline queries, and media in PHP.
- Messaging Multimedia Transmission - Facilitates the transmission of diverse media types including text, photos, audio, and video through the Telegram API.
- Chat Command Triggers - Triggers specific bot actions based on predefined text patterns or command prefixes identified in chat messages.
- Broadcast Messaging Channels - Enables one-to-many communication by sending messages to all active users, groups, and channels stored in the database.
- File Transfer Utilities - Provides utilities to move files between remote API servers and local directories via upload and download interfaces.
- Update Filters - Implements custom filter logic to determine which incoming messaging updates should be processed by specific handlers.
- Inline Query Interfaces - Provides a framework for handling real-time user queries and returning interactive results via Telegram inline requests.
- Telegram File Transfers - Provides a standardized layer for transferring files between Telegram servers and local storage.
- Administrative Security - Restricts sensitive command execution and management tasks to a verified list of administrator user IDs.
- Request Filtering Middleware - Uses a middleware layer to intercept and filter incoming updates before they reach primary handlers.
- Bot Frameworks - PHP library based on the Bot API.
