How to use it? Does it work?

How to use it? Does it work?

add bot token here

$token = YOUR_BOT_TOKEN;

promote a bot to a both channel/group as admin,
insert channel ID here

$original_from_chat_id = ORIGINAL_CHAT_ID; // like this -1001122688109
$target_chat_id = TARGET_CHAT_ID; // like this -1001131688104

from which post to your desire post, update this line

$forward_from_message_id_start = 2356;
$forward_from_message_id_finish = 2501;

then run php file in cmd
php forward.php
