    {
        "intents": [
    
        {"tag": "orderTrack",
            "patterns": ["Can you track my order?", "When i my order will be delivered", "I am unable to track my order"],
            "responses": ["Please tell me your order id.", "Can I know your order id", "Please provide me your order id so I will check."]
        }
        
        ]
        
    }
        
    

    require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

    use Chatman\BotWithPatterns;
    use Chatman\Support\ManageSessions;

    $bot = new BotWithPatterns("chatbot.json");
    $bot->train();

    $sess = new ManageSessions();

    $query = $_GET['query'];

    //checking if the last matched tag was "orderTrack".
    if($sess->getLastMatchedTag() === "orderTrack"){

        //extracting number from query by using regex
        preg_match('/\d+/', $query, $number);

        //search order details from DB. Example Function :
        $days = SearchDaysFromDB($number[0]);

        //setting bot final response
        $bot->finalResponse("Your order will be delivered in $days");
    }

    $resp = $bot->getResponse($query);

    echo $resp['resp'];

    /* EXPECTED OUTPUT : 
        Your order will be delivered in [DB RESPONSE]
    */
