I am making myself crazy trying to solve this problem.

I have a PHP webhook page like this:

function processMessage($message)

{

    if (isset($message['text'])) {

        $text = $message['text'];



        if (strpos($text, "/start") === 0) {

            apiRequestJson("sendMessage", array(

                'chat_id'      => $chat_id,

                "text"         => 'Benvenuto ' . $firstname . ' ' . $lastname . ' sul BOT di MIMANCHITU, dimmi cosa vuoi fare?',

                'reply_markup' => array(

                    'keyboard'          => array(array('/GUIDE', '/DOMANDE')),

                    'one_time_keyboard' => true,

                    'resize_keyboard'   => true

                )

            ));



        } else if ($text === "/DOMANDE") {

            apiRequest("sendMessage", array(

                'chat_id' => $chat_id,

                "text"    => 'Inserisci la parola da cercare tra le risposte della Dottoressa [' . $azione . '] XXX:'

            ));



        } else if (strpos($text, '/') !== true) {

            $curl = curl_init();

            curl_setopt_array($curl, array(

                CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,

                CURLOPT_VERBOSE        => true,

                CURLOPT_URL            => 'http://www.domain.it/bot/search_dom.php',

                CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS     => array(

                    'parola' => $text

                )

            ));



            $resp = curl_exec($curl);

            $obj  = json_decode($resp);

            curl_close($curl);



            foreach ($obj as $value) {

                apiRequest(......));

            }



        } else if ($text === "/GUIDE") {

            apiRequest("sendMessage", array(

                'chat_id' => $chat_id,

                "text"    => 'Cerca una parola per visualizzare i contenuti trovati tra le Guide al Sesso di MIMANCHITU:'

            ));

        }

    }

}

The user has two choices:

• clicking /GUIDE to search, writing a word, into mysql db with tutorial ...


• clicking /DOMANDE to search, writing a word, into mysql db with question...

My problem is how to check if user searches in /GUIDE or /DOMANDE after choosing the button from a custom keyboard! I was thinking about setting a PHP SESSION parameter, but that doesn't work!
Any ideas?

You can use InlineKeyboardMarkup instead of ReplyKeyboardMarkup. inline keayboards return query_callback that include former massage and also user reply to that massage. this is sample JSON reply from Telegram when an inline_keyboard is pressed:

{

  "update_id": 88888888,

  "callback_query": {

    "id": "99999999999999999",

    "from": {

      "id": XXXXXXXXXX,

      "first_name": "ABCD",

      "last_name": "CDEF"

    },

    "message": {

      "message_id": 56,

      "from": {

        "id": YYYYYYYYYY,

        "first_name": "myBotName",

        "username": "myBot"

      },

      "chat": {

        "id": XXXXXXXXXX ,

        "first_name": "ABCD",

        "last_name": "CDEF",

        "type": "private"

      },

      "date": 1466703216,

      "text": "someText"

    },

    "data": "returnValue"

  }

}

I preferr use php session.
So I use Curl to call a php page to store and read session into mysql db:

$link = mysqli_connect(...) or die("Error " . mysqli_error($link));

$query = "SELECT * FROM MMT_BOT WHERE CHAT_ID = '".$_POST["chat"]."'" or die("Error in the consult.." . mysqli_error($link));

$result = mysqli_query($link, $query);

$res_num = mysqli_num_rows($result);

if ($res_num === 0) {

        $query = "INSERT INTO MMT_BOT (CHAT_ID, SESSION) VALUES ('".$_POST["chat"]."','".$_POST["session"]."')" or die("Error in the consult.." . mysqli_error($link));

        $link->query($query);

        $query = "SELECT * FROM MMT_BOT WHERE CHAT_ID = '".$_POST["chat"]."'" or die("Error in the consult.." . mysqli_error($link));

        $result = mysqli_query($link, $query);

    } else {

        $query = "UPDATE MMT_BOT SET SESSION = '".$_POST["session"]."' WHERE CHAT_ID = '".$_POST["chat"]."'" or die("Error in the consult.." . mysqli_error($link));

        $link->query($query);

        $query = "SELECT * FROM MMT_BOT WHERE CHAT_ID = '".$_POST["chat"]."'" or die("Error in the consult.." . mysqli_error($link));

        $result = mysqli_query($link, $query);

    }

        $rows = array();

            while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result, MYSQLI_ASSOC)) {

              $rows = array('sessione' => $row['SESSION'],'chat_id' => $row['CHAT_ID']);

        }

echo json_encode($rows);

So I could store the step of each answer and make question depending the step!
Is useful also to store user info!
