[twitter-dev] Send status update with OAuth/PHP/cURL

[Mike Jones]

I was using the following code to hook to my twitter account but now
since I was using basic authentication instead of OAuth I am not
tweeting anymore. Does anyone know of the code of samples that use
OAuth with cURL/PHP?

<?


function make_jmp_url($url,$login,$appkey,$format = 'xml',$version =
'2.0.1') {
        //create the URL
        $jmp = 'http://api.j.mp/shorten?version='.
$version.'&longUrl='.urlencode($url).'&login='.$login.'&apiKey='.
$appkey.'&format='.$format;

        //get the url
        $response = file_get_contents($jmp);

        //parse depending on desired format
        if(strtolower($format) == 'json')
        {
                $json = @json_decode($response,true);
                return $json['results'][$url]['shortUrl'];
        }
        else //xml
        {
                $xml = simplexml_load_string($response);
                return 'http://j.mp/'.$xml->results->nodeKeyVal->hash;
        }
}

function tweet($status) {

        $username = 'test';
        $password = 'test';

        if ($status) {
        $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($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$username:$password");

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

        if ($resultArray['http_code'] == 200) {
                $msg += ' and was Tweeted!';
        }

        curl_close($curl);
        }
}

        $tweet = '';

        $longURL = 'http://test.com' . $row->id;
        $shortURL = make_jmp_url($longURL, 'username', 'apikey', 'json');

        $tweet .= urlencode( $row->title );

        if (strlen($tweet) > 119) {
                // shorten status update to fit in 140 with URL
                $tweet = substr($tweet, 0, 116 ) . '...';
        }

        $tweet .= ' - ';
        $tweet .= $shortURL;

        tweet($tweet);

?>
