yowsup: how to read and process with PHP the received messages?

Question

Since WhatsAPI/Chat-API is no longer maintained, I'm trying to understand how to interact with yowsup from PHP.

Sending messages is easy with exec() and CLI is easy: yowsup-cli demos --send 39xxx "Test message" --config yowsup.txt did the trick.

Reading the message from PHP is where I'm swamped at. The CLI echo client works as expected with yowsup-cli demos --echo --config yowsup.txt, but I need to ingest the number+message sent in my PHP script instead of echoing.

The doc is lacking in this regard, and I've only a minor Python experience.

So... how can I read and process with PHP yowsup received messages?

Start with ./yowsup-cli demos -y -c config.text and type /L to login. Now you have a real-time send and receive interface for text, voice, video and files with said data transmits and receipts time-stamped, lablelled and addressed to and from your chat partner. Check out the Chat-API project on GitHub re designing a wrapper (PHP, Java, Ruby, whatever) for the protocol...

I asked about ingesting via PHP, you reply with instruction for the the interactive mode + ChatAPI (which I'm not using). So: how does this anwser the question? – Dr. Gianluigi Zane Zanettini Aug 23 '17 at 12:41
