No pending_update_count from Telegram Bot

I am struggling with Telegram API for a while now, it seems that I don't find my problem on stackoverflow which is why I am posting this message right now.

I try to build a Telegram Bot plain and simple. I use PHP and ureal4u library to get Update objects and sendMessages https://github.com/unreal4u/telegram-api I set a webhook with a chained certificate. This is what I get when I check https://api.telegram.org/botBOTTOKEN/getWebhookInfo

{

    "ok": true,
    "result": {
        "url": https://mydomainname/my/path/webhook.php,
        "has_custom_certificate": true,
        "pending_update_count": 0,
        "max_connections": 40
    }

}

In Webhook.php file I have this code

webhook.php
<?php
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use \unreal4u\TelegramAPI\Telegram\Types\Update;

// Getting POST request body and decoding it from JSON to associative array
$updateData = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'), true);

$update = new Update($updateData);
print_r($update);
?>

I tested my webhook throught two different steps.

curl --tlsv1.2 -v -k -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Cache-Control: no-cache"  -d '{
"update_id":10000,
"message":{
  "date":1441645532,
  "chat":{
     "last_name":"Test Lastname",
     "id":1111111,
     "first_name":"Test",
     "username":"Test"
  },
  "message_id":1365,
  "from":{
     "last_name":"Test Lastname",
     "id":1111111,
     "first_name":"Test",
     "username":"Test"
  },
  "text":"/start"
}
}' "https://mydomainname/my/path.webhook.php"

RESPONSE :
Note: Unnecessary use of -X or --request, POST is already inferred.

  },
  "text":"/start"
}
}
* Connection #0 to host mydomainname left intact

On getWebhookInfo I still see "pending_update_count": 0, and on webhook.php this is what I get :

webhook.php
unreal4u\TelegramAPI\Telegram\Types\Update Object
(
    [update_id] => 0
    [message] => 
    [edited_message] => 
    [channel_post] => 
    [edited_channel_post] => 
    [inline_query] => 
    [chosen_inline_result] => 
    [callback_query] => 
    [shipping_query] => 
    [pre_checkout_query] => 
    [poll] => 
    [logger:protected] => unreal4u\Dummy\Logger Object
        (
        )

)

What I would like : That either one of these two methods - curl POST to webhook url or sending a message to telegram bot - sends an update object to my url that I can get in webhook.php in my Update Object.

I am the author of this library but I'm not too active on StackOverflow.

The reason why you don't see anything is because Telegram is sending you the update and you process it in the same request, so that print_r() you've got is what you are sending back to Telegram.

I would recommend in this situation to save the response to a file or pass in a PSR-3 compatible logger (iirc debug level will also save the original data that came in from Telegram) so that you can see what is happening.

Happy coding!
