if (!file_exists('madeline.php')) {
copy('https://phar.madelineproto.xyz/madeline.php', 'madeline.php');
}
include 'madeline.php';
$MadelineProto = new \danog\MadelineProto\API('session.madeline');
$MadelineProto->start();
$contacts_ImportedContacts = $MadelineProto->contacts->importContacts(['contacts' => [InputContact, InputContact], ]);
