💻 Code Explanation

Core PHP Logic

1. Bot Token and URLs:
   The bot uses the Telegram API to send messages and files. Replace token_here with your actual Telegram bot token.

2. Handling User Input:

   • The script checks for valid URLs using FILTER_VALIDATE_URL.
   • Once a valid link is detected, it sends a request to the external service (e.g., Cobalt API) to retrieve the media.

3. Downloading Media:

   • The bot downloads the media using a curl request to the external service, then uploads it to Telegram.

4. Sending Files to Telegram:

   • After the media is successfully downloaded, the bot uploads it to Telegram using sendDocument, along with a caption containing the original link.

5. Error Handling:

   • If a download or upload fails, the bot informs the user of the failure.
