[twitter-dev] Re: how to specify source in php with curl

[Matt Sanford]

Hi there,
    If this is an OAuth application you'll probably find it easiest  
to checkout some of the previous examples and libraries [1]. If this  
is a non-OAuth application you need to add a source parameter, like:

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "source=$source_name&status= 
$status");

Thanks;

Hello all,

I use php with curl to post tweets.

If my app is registered at twitter how can i specify the source.

The following is the code i'm using...

        $tweetUrl = 'http://www.twitter.com/statuses/update.xml';

                $curl = curl_init();
                curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, "$tweetUrl");
                curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 2);
                curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
                curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
                curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "status=$status");
                curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$twitterUsername:
$twitterPassword");

                $result = curl_exec($curl);
                $resultArray = curl_getinfo($curl);
