If you are worried about losing your twitter capability at The Planet, then you should consider moving over to Rackspace. We moved all of our servers and clients servers (in excess of 50 servers) to Rackspace and have been using them since 2003 and always get great support - fanatical support.

Amazon's EC2 IP ranges are essentially unusable for SMTP since they have been blacklisted. I have to use another host to handle outbound SMTP traffic. As for traffic to Twitter, most likely you'd want to use an elastic IP address to get whitelisted. Sincerely, Anthony Eden On Wed, Jan 7, 2009

I think the XML parser will choke on the headers that are being returned from your curl_exec. Try setting this instead: curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false); You'll also want to set this: curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); so that the XML is actually stored in $str when curl_exec
