utf-8 !!!

That error is directly from Telegram. It has got nothing to do with the library AFAIK.

Can you re-check with v1.0 with same keyboard and everything else?

I have 3 bots!
@allStoreBot
@leitnerBot
@nowArzBot
@partnerLookBot

all bots work correctly except the first one!
I checked everything that i think may cause it! I have no idea now!

It's strange! because it works if you touch the same keyboard twice!

[irazasyed]

Maybe try with another Telegram client? Like iOS/Desktop? It could also be a bug with their client.

Error in devices:
Telegram Desktop mac OSX: yes
Telegram Desktop Windows: yes
Telegram android: yes

Telegram IOS: not yet!

[irazasyed]

Ahan! Report this to Telegram Bot Support, So they can fix this issue across all their clients.

[derakoola]

OK, Thanks.

I could find it!

filter text before sending it by:
$text = iconv("UTF-8", "UTF-8//IGNORE", $text),

There were some char not in utf-8 standard, so they made errors!

[jonnywilliamson]

Please give an example of what message failed BEFORE you filtered it through iconv().

Does this only apply to normal text messages?

Will it also fail if used as a caption for an image or a video?

Thank you.

I don't think you've got the right solution to your problem.

The docs state:

If you append the string //TRANSLIT to out_charset transliteration is activated. This means that when a character can't be represented in the target charset, it can be approximated through one or several similarly looking characters. If you append the string //IGNORE, characters that cannot be represented in the target charset are silently discarded. Otherwise, E_NOTICE is generated and the function will return FALSE.

So in your case you are passing a string to the function that you want converted to UTF-8.

However you're telling the function that the input string is UTF-8 already but that it is to DROP any characters that are invalid.

Surely the message text you are trying to send is now missing characters?

@jonnywilliamson
for normal text it works fine.

I had some info that filled by users and users used abnormal letters.

I prefer to delete abnormal letters rather that translate it.

[jonnywilliamson]

And have you tested if the same issue happens if you add those characters to image/video captions?

That would be another place that text might need to be filtered.

[derakoola]

@jonnywilliamson

no, I don't test in for caption of images! also I think videos don't have a caption!

and also I can't find that letters!
I scaned it myself and I can't detect abnormal letters!
but when I used `$text = iconv("UTF-8", "UTF-8//IGNORE", $text);`` everything be OK.
