   if (!empty($_GET)) {
       $fw = fopen($file_get, "a");
       fwrite($fw, "GET " . var_export($_GET, true));
       fclose($fw);
       $ch = curl_init();
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,
   "https://api.telegram.org/bot<token>/sendMessage?chat_id=<chat_id>&text='Новая запись в файле мониторинга: <url>'");
       $result=curl_exec($ch);
       curl_close($ch);
       }
   ?>
