[twitter-dev] Understanding /friendships/create and how to create a friendship
Can anyone show me how to add a friendship in PHP? I have tried
several ways and followed much of the advice on this board without
luck.
The documentation is vague, it states Allows the authenticating users
to follow the user specified in the ID parameter. Using Abraham
Williams libraries thats a snap (thanks Abraham!) and I have used it
for many applications over the last few months. The new documentation
leaves a lot to be desired and I can't find any which way to make it
work:-
http://dev.twitter.com/doc/post/friendships/create
Here's just a few combinations I have tried:-
Take your pick from this block:-
$params = array('user_id' = $id, 'id' = $id, 'screen_name' =
$screen_name);
$params = array();
$params = array('user_id' = $id);
$params = array('id' = $id);
And comibine it with this block:-
$send = simplexml_load_string($twitter-OAuthRequest(http://
api.twitter.com/1/friendships/create/$screen_name.xml,
$params,'POST'));
$send = simplexml_load_string($twitter-OAuthRequest(http://
api.twitter.com/1/friendships/create.xml?id=$iduser_id=
$idscreen_name=$accountname,$params,'POST'));
send = simplexml_load_string($twitter-OAuthRequest(http://
api.twitter.com/1/friendships/create/$id.xml,$params,'POST'));
and I have tried them all without any luck. I have verified
screen_name and id's are correct. Checked the API is up and working
via other calls (such as sending DM's).
I have been able to guess most of the parameters and how to use them
for read and write operations but this one has left me confused. I
would really appreciate a hand.
Kind Regards,
Martyn

[twitter-dev] Stumped by Failed to validate oauth signature or token
I have seen several posts but I don't understand the answers :( I'm
fairly new to all this so I apologize if I'm missing something
obvious.
Using twitterOAuth from https://docs.google.com/View?docID=dcf2dzzs_2339fzbfsf4
I manage to grab and save the access tokens oauth_token as $user_token
and oauth_token_secret as $user_secret and can use them to
successfully call verify_credentials.xml
However if I try make a second call it doesn't work, for example:-
$msg = 'test';
$twitter = new TwitterOAuth($consumer_key, $consumer_secret,
$user_token, $user_secret);
$xml_string = $twitter-OAuthRequest('https://twitter.com/statuses/
update.xml', array('status' = $msg), 'POST');
Returns Failed to validate oauth signature or token.
Any ideas what I can do to make this work?
Thanks,
Martyn

Ouch! I have been stupid after all. My session was open on the
domain, while my test page was on the www sub domain.
I will go away, hang my head in shame, and be quiet now!
Thanks for your help.

[twitter-dev] Re: Stumped by Failed to validate oauth signature or token
They are being passed in $_SESSION variables. I have debug code
printing to screen and they look the same but I'll go check, judging
by your answer I may well have done something stoopid after all!
