Get user and group sender of command

[alvaro-octal]

Hi,

As far as I have read, it's not possible to get the group or the user from which a command has been sent, it would be useful for "private" bots, or user systems.

what do you think?

Hi,

I'm not sure I follow what you mean.

When a command is issued by a user in a channel (say a group chat) this update object is sent to your webserver for processing.

As you can see it has the details of the user that sent it AND the name of the chat it was sent in.

Is this not what you are looking for?

(
    [update_id] => 304090973
    [message] => Array
        (
            [message_id] => 2733
            [from] => Array
                (
                    [id] => 12443287
                    [first_name] => FirstName
                    [last_name] => LastName
                    [username] => username
                )

            [chat] => Array
                (
                    [id] => -20301211
                    [title] => Chat Title
                )

            [date] => 1444162469
            [text] => /somecommand@botname
        )

)

Yeah, telegram sends all that into to the web-hook, but I would like that info accesible from inside a Command class instead of only the command arguments.

Edit: Ok, just noticed the $this->update var, thanks.
