just make sure to check for next_cursor_str to grab the next page if the user
has more than 5000. note that next_cursor_str does not ever return null

You can get the list of all followers using the API request:
https://api.twitter.com/1/followers/ids.json?cursor=-1
That request will return up to 5000 follower IDs in one request. You can then
look up details of those users using the /1/users/lookup method.
More information on these methods is available here:

Hi,
I have written a php to fetch followers of a given username of twitter
by using twitter API.
But the result is limited by the number of followers.
For example, there are only 100 followers of BBCWorld listed in
result, instead of 367,480.
What is the solution to overcome this limitation?
my code:
?php
$username=BBCWorld; //input user name of twitter
$follower_url = http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/followers/;.
$username..xml;
$twFriends = curl_init();
curl_setopt($twFriends, CURLOPT_URL, $follower_url);
curl_setopt($twFriends, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
$twiFriends = curl_exec($twFriends);
$response = new SimpleXMLElement($twiFriends);
foreach($response-user as $friends){
$thumb = $friends-profile_image_url;
$url = $friends-screen_name;
$name = $friends-name;
?
a title=?php echo $name;? href=http://www.twitter.com/?php echo
$url;?img class=photo-img src=?php echo $thumb? border=0
alt= width=40 //a
?php
}
?
