Telegram Bot API: "username" field is missing – Telegram API

I want to read user names from receiving updates however but I face an special issue.

For some users, $message['from']['username'] contains a Telegram User Name however for some users this parameter is not defined.

How can I reliably receive user names ( get username field), using Telegram Bot API?

    It’s not mandatory to have a username, so there are users with no username.

    Simply use this code:

    if(!$username){
$parameters = array("chat_id" => $chatId, "text" => "Set a username to use this bot!nSettings > Username");
}

    When a user have no username it can’t use the bot.
