You have to perform step 6-7 where you exchange your request token for an
access token.

You can see an example in callback.php:

[twitter-dev] Problem with $connection->get('account/verify_credentials')

[JJRAY]

I'm a newbie with the Twitter API.  I have no problem sending a user
from my site to Twitter via the api and receiving authentication.
Here is the code I use for that, tweaked from Nettus.

getRequestToken();

// store it in our session
$_SESSION['oauth_request_token'] = $tokens['oauth_token'];
$_SESSION['oauth_request_token_secret'] =
$tokens['oauth_token_secret'];
$_SESSION['oauth_state'] = 'SENT';

// send the user on their way
header('Location: '.$toa->getAuthorizeURL($tokens['oauth_token']));

?>

OK, no problem.  However, I cannot then use the tokens I receive back
from twitter to make a connection.  Here is the code I am trying to
use.



PHP test post to Twitter




stuff starts here


';

require_once('inc/twitterOAuth.php');
require_once('inc/config.php');

echo 'step two ... ';

// $CONSUMER_KEY = '* * * *';
// $CONSUMER_SECRET = '* * * *';
// $OAUTH_TOKEN = '* * * *';
// $OAUTH_SECRET = '* * * *';

define("CONSUMER_KEY", "* * * ");
define("CONSUMER_SECRET", "* * * *");
define("OAUTH_TOKEN", "* *  * *");
define("OAUTH_SECRET", "* * *  *");

echo 'step three ...';

$connection = new TwitterOAuth(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET,
OAUTH_TOKEN, OAUTH_SECRET);
$content = $connection->get('account/verify_credentials');

echo 'step four ...';

$connection->get('users/show', array('screen_name' =>
$_REQUEST['screen_name']));

$login_status = "Hi ".$_SESSION['OAUTH_TOKEN']['screen_name'].", are
you ready to archive?logout";
$logged_in = TRUE;

?>



stuff ends here.





The page stops loading after >> echo 'step three ...'; << and
goes blank.  Anyone have an idea why these two lines do not work--

$connection = new TwitterOAuth(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET,
OAUTH_TOKEN, OAUTH_SECRET);
$content = $connection->get('account/verify_credentials');

Is the problem that I am missing a step?  All I got in step 1 was a
request token but not an access token?

Thanks,
Joe

p.s. Apologies to the mod for sending my cons sec key with the post.
Not a good idea to post code at in the wee hours, especially a sat
night.
