# MadelineProto Example (now async for huge speed and parallelism!): 

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();

$photos.Photo = $MadelineProto->photos->updateProfilePhoto(['id' => InputPhoto, ]);

Or, if you’re into Lua:

photos.Photo = photos.updateProfilePhoto({id=InputPhoto, })
