How can I give Telegram bot methods result in PHP?

Question

I want to give telegram bot methods result like this:

{"ok":true,"result":{"message_id":13,"from":{"id":415006699,"is_bot":true,"first_name":"Sama","username":"SamaXXXBot"},"chat":{"id":123456789,"first_name":"M\u044f.M\u043d\u0257\u03b9","type":"private"},"date":1512903870,"text":"test"}}

from this code:

    <?php

    define('BOT_TOKEN', '415006699:AAEs-xxxx');
    define('ME', 123456); // Admin UID

    function makeHTTPRequest($method, $types = []){
        $url = 'https://api.telegram.org/bot'.BOT_TOKEN.'/'.$method;
        $ch = curl_init();
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $types);
        $res = curl_exec($ch);
        if (curl_error($ch)){
            var_dump(curl_error($ch));
        } else {
            return json_decode($res);
        }
    }

    $sendPhoto = makeHTTPRequest('sendPhoto', [
        'chat_id' => 123456,
        'photo' =>"https://www.google.co.uk/images/branding/googlelogo/2x/googlelogo_color_272x92dp.png",
        'caption' => 'New Photo ...!'
    ])->result;

    if ($sendPhoto->ok == true){
        // Photo sent successfully
        var_dump(makeHTTPRequest('sendMessage', [
            'chat_id' => ME,
            'text' => 'Photo send successfully'
        ]));
    } else {
        var_dump(makeHTTPRequest('sendMessage', [
            'chat_id' => ME,
            'text' => 'Error: '.$sendPhoto->error_code."\nDesc: ".$sendPhoto->description
        ]));
    }
?>

And if sendPhoto was 'True' send a message to bot admin. But this not works correctly, What is the problem?

Is there any reason for writing your own bot from the scratch and not use one of the given packages listed on packagist.org? — Nico Haase, Dec 10 '17 at 11:19
