سلام خیلی ممنون ازت از این کد استفاده کردم و کارم رو راه انداخت. گرفتن فایل از ربات تلگرام و ذخیره کردن آن در هاست یا سرور

Thank u a lot. it worked out for me. download a file from telegram bot and save it in host is possible with this code:

        $destination_folder = $local_file_path;
    $url = 'https://api.telegram.org/file/bot' . $token . '/' . $file_path;

        $newfname = $destination_folder . basename($url);
        file_put_contents( $newfname, fopen($url, 'r'));
