I'm programming a telegram bot in php, and everything is working, except that now I want to add sub menus inside my cases of the switch. For example, the user puts '/insertcolour', then the bots sends a message "Insert your favourite colour" and then how could I read that colour without exiting the primary switch?

I tried with this code inside my case:

  do{ 
      $update2 = file_get_contents('php://input'); 
      $update2 = json_decode($update2, TRUE);
    }while($update2['message']['message_id']==$messageId);

But it just gets stuck and stops reading other commands... Someone knows how to solve this?

You can't do like that, but you have an option if your using Switch case

$collors = array("green", "red", "Blue");

switch($text)
{
    case"/start":
        startmsg($msgID,$welcome);
        break;
    case"/insertcolour":
        insertcolour($msgID);
        break;
    default:
            if (in_array($text, $collors))
              {
              //you can add next function here
              }
            break;

  • Thanks for your response. But in this case I would have to do a big array with all the colours, right? Cause for example, if it weren't colours but employees ID's? Something that I couldn't create an array? Isn't there a way to reread the data sent afterwards the first message by the user inside one of the cases? – Adrian May 14 '21 at 01:12
