If you haven't previously registered an application then unfortunately
the only way to get 'from myapp' nowadays is to use oAuth for
authentication (and you can register your application from the

Hello,
It looks like your base string is formatted correctly to generate the

since sending a status update requires a POST, you need to put all of
the parameters in the body of the POST request instead of in the URL
query string.

Thanks. I ended up copying the final url and pasting it into my

random number could reproduce the same numbers. That seemed to have

Clearly PHP_INT_MAX plays no role in json_decode.
There must be some other mystical maximum number above which it
