Hi Thomas,
The timestamp must be the current time in epoch seconds. By design the epoch
time is in GMT, which is the same as Twitter's servers so you shouldn't need
to adjust it. If you do it implies your server clock isn't set correctly.
Looking at your code you have a lot going on which increases the risk of
encoding errors. To help you track down the issue have a look at the way one
of the community produced PHP libraries does it and compare their results to
yours.
You can find the community libraries on our developer resources site:
