How to send message from WhatsApp in PHP with WhatsAPI Official?

Question

I'm trying to use the WhatsApi Official library to send a message via WhatsApp from a php file. I've moved in my Apache web server the library, in a folder call test, like this:

enter image description here

The file whatsapp.php is this one:

    <?php
    require_once './src/whatsprot.class.php';
    $username = "1XXXXXXXXX";
    $password = "password";
    $w = new WhatsProt($username, "0", "My Nickname", true); //Name your application by replacing “WhatsApp Messaging”
    $w->connect();
    $w->loginWithPassword($password);
    $target = '1xxxxxxxxx'; //Target Phone,reciever phone
    $message = 'This is my messagge';
    $w->SendPresenceSubscription($target); //Let us first send presence to user
    $w->sendMessage($target,$message ); // Send Message
    echo "Message Sent Successfully";
?>

I'm facing some problem with the library new WhatsProt(), which blocks all the code (may be sockets ?).

So my question is, how can I fix this problem ? If no, are there any other solution to send message from a pho script ?

The script stops to work before the $w ->connect(); so I can't get the response ! — I love coding, Apr 16 '15 at 10:57
And you get no errors on your side? Maybe something is wrong with your credentials or the `WhatsProt Class` — Ofir Baruch, Apr 16 '15 at 10:59
I don't think my credential are wrong. I put as number, "my contry code, without +" and the mobile phone number. I sue Wart in Windows to obtain the password. — I love coding, Apr 16 '15 at 11:44
Is there a simple tool to check if the credentials are correct ? — I love coding, Apr 16 '15 at 13:11
I don't like hacks. WhatsApp don't want us to use their system programmatically, so be it . I will not messaging my users with WhatsApp . instead I will use [line messaging API](https://developers.line.me/messaging-api/overview) — Accountant م, Apr 05 '17 at 12:19
Hey hi, I am going to implement this but first i want to clear my doubt so if you dont mind can you clear it ? 1) Is it possible to send bulk of msg in one day like i need to send message in arround 5/6 lacs numbers daily, so is it possible ? — David Coder, Aug 26 '17 at 07:25
@candlejack Yes, there is an official API... [Whatsapp Business API](https://www.whatsapp.com/business/api) — , Aug 26 '18 at 18:04

You can use below script to send message from whatsapp in PHP.

https://github.com/venomous0x/WhatsAPI/tree/master/examples

Configure the source code in Apache and run examples/whatsapp.php file.

You have change below configurations.

//simple password to view this script
$config['webpassword'] = 'MakeUpPassword';

and

$config['YOURNAME'] = array(
'id' => 'e807f1fcf82d132f9bb018ca6738a19f',
'fromNumber' => '441234567890',
'nick' => "YOURNICKNAME",
'waPassword' => "EsdfsawS+/ffdskjsdhwebdgxbs=",
'email' => 'testemail@gmail.com',
'emailPassword' => 'gmailpassword'
);

It's working for me..

Thank you. Can you be more precise, about the action/modification should I do ? – I love coding Apr 16 '15 at 11:41
you have to do only above configuration and it will work. if you face any problem then let me know. – Jayson Apr 16 '15 at 12:39
is it normale that id contains multiple % repeated every 2 char ? Why in my script, it is not required the id ? – I love coding Apr 16 '15 at 13:10
yes its normal thing. id is required for unique identity in whatsapp. – Jayson Apr 16 '15 at 13:27
well know it seems to work ! Also my script works ! is it possible, that, once I execute the php script, I got a lot of lines back from the page ? is possible to send emoction and message to group ? – I love coding Apr 16 '15 at 14:32
got a lot of lines back from the page means? and yes you can send emotions and message in group there is lots of functions are available in `whatsprot.class.php` – Jayson Apr 17 '15 at 04:55
From the page I got soma lines back, such as some status of the message. can you make me the example of set the nickname, with: MyNickname+soccer emoction ? – I love coding Apr 17 '15 at 17:12

@Jayson : https://github.com/venomous0x/WhatsAPI/tree/master/examples url is not working. Showing 404 – Lakhan Dec 29 '16 at 12:49
@Lakhan if you go to https://github.com/venomous0x/WhatsAPI/ you'll see why. If you look around on github there are plenty of forks prior to the original being taken down though. – Leith Feb 28 '17 at 23:41

afaik you are probably better off currently writing an interface to a python project. E.g. have a microservice that does sending of messages for you in python, and you call them via some json request or similar

see this project, looks promising: https://github.com/tgalal/yowsup

it seems like the only viable option so far, as everything else was shut down or has a high probability to get your account banned
