well create a simple login page and ask users to sign-in with their twitter accounts to your client's website and provide the textbox to update twitter status. Use the credentials of users which they provided while signing in to authenticate their twitter account and also to store cookies or session as per your requirements. There are few more tutorials on twitter-api website for php. Look at them.
