Send message to a Telegram channel using PHP
Today we are going to make a telegram bot that will send messages to a telegram channel using PHP.
In order to be able to do so, you will have first to
- Create a Telegram Channel (public now)

Creating your telegram bot
If you don’t know how to create a telegram bot using bot father. please check this video, you can watch it from creating a telegram bot.
Now you can able to send message to message to your telegram channel by HTTP GET method by using the following link
https://api.telegram.org/bot[BOT_API_KEY]/sendMessage?chat_id=[MY_CHANNEL_NAME]&text=[MY_MESSAGE_TEXT]
- [BOT_API_KEY] – Replace with your API Key generated by BotFather when you created your bot
- [MY_CHANNEL_NAME] – the handle of your channel (e.g. @yourchannelname)
- [MY_MESSAGE_TEXT] – is the message you want to send
So let’s make it using PHP
$apiToken = "my_bot_api_token"; $data = [ 'chat_id' => '@yourchannelname', 'text' => 'Hello world!' ]; $response = file_get_contents("https://api.telegram.org/bot$apiToken/sendMessage?" . http_build_query($data) ); // Do what you want with result
