  As others have said, you could wrap the existing bindings using FFI or creating an extension. However, depending on the use case, you could use something like signal-cli, and execute that from PHP.

  Yes, once this is more mature, it should make it easier to write Signal bots.

  It's not really a proper bot, but depending on the scale of the projects you've got in mind, you can kinda do it with signal-cli. It requires an actual phone number to register, so I've been using it with a Google Voice number and a Python script tied into the DBus service.

• Tired of asking your friends to switch to Signal from Whatsapp? Use this bot.

  My final goal for this project is to route all the messages that you get from Whatsapp to Signal so you can ditch Whatsapp even if your friends don't want to. I got the inspiration from this https://github.com/FKLC/WhatsAppToDiscord where he uses the bot to send and receive Whatsapp messages from discord. I want to eventually implement something like this for Signal. I'm currently learning about D-Bus and trying to use https://github.com/AsamK/signal-cli for this. If anyone wants to help out and is interested let me know.
