[twitter-dev] Json parse error / escape problem

[Morris Li]

Hi

i have got an issue with my PHP version while developing the tweeter
application.
Our company setting at the moment is: php 5.1.2
the json_decode function is from 5.2+.
So when I try to tweet a message to twitter it throws 'Illegal escape
sequence 'u''.

Can anyone would like to help?
Below is the issue that I have got:


i.e. '<' is parsed as '\u003C' in the twitter return.

[twitter-dev] Auto tweet implementation

[Morris Li]

Hi,

My client requested a function to enable his club members to auto post
tweets to twitter when they join any event on the website. When any
member signs up for an event, we do something about updating the
database, and at that point, we also want to post a tweet to twitter.

Following the example I can work out how to post a message using PHP
after getting authorization. But what I can do now is slight different
from what I need to. i.e. we expect a member login once on our site
then he / she doesn't need to login again every time he / she signs an
event. Is it possible to achieve this by a PHP script?

Many thanks for all of you.
Morris Li

[twitter-dev] Custom Follow Buttons?

[David Li]

Hi!

Does anyone know if there is a way to have custom made follow buttons
using the @Anywhere API? I've looked quite thoroughly through the
documentation and whilst there is an option to have custom connect
buttons, there is no mention of custom follow buttons.

Any help would be much appreciated,

David Li

[twitter-dev] API call doesn't work anymore

[Li]

I am using http://twitter.com/statuses/update.json to update status
for twitter. It was working until yesterday's DOS attack.

API call return "1" now. It used to return status of api call such as
"success" or "failed"

None of the updates when through API since yesterday

Anyone get any ideas? Did Twitter change their API?

Thanks

[twitter-dev] Does twitter allow apps for getting followers by following each other?

[Chaoming Li]

I see a few apps doing this, some have been there for months.
Basically they allow users to login and click a button to follow other
users on the list, and then the other users might follows you back. I
am wondering is that allowed?
