how to access messages data sent by bot ?

[moeinrahimi]

hi i want to access message_ids of my bot messages and store it in a variable, i know i can access all the data by using var_dump($telegram->sendmessage($content); but how can i filter through them and only get message_id ?

[Eleirbag89]

$message = $telegram->sendmessage($content);
$msg_id = $message["message_id"];

See https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#message

ok i tested your code but it return nothing when i var_dump($msg_id) it is NULL,
but when i var_dump the $message it returns:

Array
(
    [ok] => 1
    [result] => Array
        (
            [message_id] => 631
            [from] => Array
                (
                    [id] => 224181375
                    [first_name] => boofeh
                    [username] => boofehbot
                )

            [chat] => Array
                (
                    [id] => 50408323
                    [first_name] => MOÆŽIN
                    [username] => imoein1
                    [type] => private
                )

            [date] => 1466844672
            [text] => اکنون س�ارش خود را ارسال کنید
        )

)

do
$message = $telegram->sendmessage($content);
$msg_id = $message["result"]["message_id"];
