How to start the Twitter API on my site?
I have been playing with php for a month now and really want to use the simplicity of the Twitter API to make a nice site, using my visitors status updates, friends, and other info that the API shares. I have a free hosting site at 000webhost.com if u never heard of it, its free, offers php/mysql, and 100s of features for free. How should I start my new project.. if I want to simply... display a couple feeds on a page, with the header of the page including the visitor's profile pic and bio info. One feed will be theirs and another mine. I've been thru 20 plus tutorials and they jump to fast into the coding part. I think i have every code there is as well as library or json jquery twitterlib etc but no one ever shows how to start from scratch. How to use the curl options? How does the php interact with xml pages and can u explain that concept? What do I need to do to get the API to work, come back to the page with the accessed info from Twitter. Please help, im desperate, in the middle of nowhere, and broke! lol This is so interesting and hope to get some great answers from someone who can explain well. Thanks and God Bless!
