Telegram bot send file and text PHP

Question

I've got a basic bot set up that will send text back to the user, now I also want to send the user an audio message. But that I cannot do, here is the code.
I'm also using this https://github.com/Eleirbag89/TelegramBotPHP to send the audio

include("Telegram.php);

    define('BOT_TOKEN', 'tokentoken');
    define('API_URL', 'https://api.telegram.org/bot'.BOT_TOKEN.'/');

   $telegram = new Telegram(BOT_TOKEN);

    $content = file_get_contents("php://input");
    $update = json_decode($content, true);
    $chatID = $update["message"]["chat"]["id"];
    $message = $update["message"]["text"];

    $reply =  sendMessage($message);

    $sendto =API_URL."sendmessage?chat_id=".$chatID."&text=".$reply;

    file_get_contents($sendto);

    function sendMessage(&$string) {

    switch ($string) {

    case "Hi":
     $message = "Hi Back";
     sendAudio();
     break;

    case "Bye":
    $message = "Bye Bye";
    break;
    default:
       $message = "Default";

    }
    return $message

    }
func sendAudio() {

$sound = curl_file_create('sampleAudio.mp3', 'audio/mp3');
$newContent = array('chat_id' => $chatID, 'audio' => $sound);
$telegram->sendAudio($newContent);

}

Calling the code outside of the functions works, but than the user gets the file each time they type something. I experimenting so a bit of explanation would be great.

Just rewrote some of it here manually the code is running fine, it just doesn't send the audio file, while the text gets sent fine. — Sam Bing

You should check for errors occuring in your bot or in the post response of telegram. — Maak

You have some errors:

First line " is unclosed
Last function, you've typed "func" instead of "function"
In sendAudio() you've used $chatID but you've to pass it as a parameter of sendAudio() or to set is as global.

After checking again i found the issue, as for the syntax i made mistakes while posting the question. The last point was the issue. Thank you for taking your time to answer since it was a trivial mistake and yet none did.
