I'm a newbie with the Twitter API. I have no problem sending a user
from my site to Twitter via the api and receiving authentication.
Here is the code I use for that, tweaked from Nettus.
<?php
// Twitter API Example--Nettuts
session_start();
require_once('inc/twitterOAuth.php');
// make sure you swap these for your own!
$consumer_key = '* * * *';
$consumer_secret = '* * *';
// create some request tokens
$toa = new TwitterOAuth($consumer_key, $consumer_secret);
$tokens = $toa->getRequestToken();
// store it in our session
$_SESSION['oauth_request_token'] = $tokens['oauth_token'];
$_SESSION['oauth_request_token_secret'] =
$tokens['oauth_token_secret'];
$_SESSION['oauth_state'] = 'SENT';
// send the user on their way
header('Location: '.$toa->getAuthorizeURL($tokens['oauth_token']));
?>
OK, no problem. However, I cannot then use the tokens I receive back
from twitter to make a connection. Here is the code I am trying to
use.
<html>
<head>
<title>PHP test post to Twitter</title>
</head>
<body>
<table width="70%" align="center"><tr><td>
<br><br>
stuff starts here
<br><br>
<?php
// $val1 = $_GET['ot'];
// $val2 = $_GET['ov'];
echo 'step one ... <br><br>';
require_once('inc/twitterOAuth.php');
require_once('inc/config.php');
echo 'step two ... <br><br>';
// $CONSUMER_KEY = '* * * *';
// $CONSUMER_SECRET = '* * * *';
// $OAUTH_TOKEN = '* * * *';
// $OAUTH_SECRET = '* * * *';
define("CONSUMER_KEY", "* * * ");
define("CONSUMER_SECRET", "* * * *");
define("OAUTH_TOKEN", "* * * *");
define("OAUTH_SECRET", "* * * *");
echo 'step three ...<br><br>';
$connection = new TwitterOAuth(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET,
OAUTH_TOKEN, OAUTH_SECRET);
$content = $connection->get('account/verify_credentials');
echo 'step four ...<br><br>';
$connection->get('users/show', array('screen_name' =>
$_REQUEST['screen_name']));
$login_status = "Hi ".$_SESSION['OAUTH_TOKEN']['screen_name'].", are
you ready to archive?<br><a href='./clearsessions.php'>logout</a>";
$logged_in = TRUE;
?>
<br>
<?php echo $login_status; ?>
<br><br>
stuff ends here.
</td></tr></table>
</body>
</html>
The page stops loading after >> echo 'step three ...<br><br>'; << and
goes blank. Anyone have an idea why these two lines do not work--
$connection = new TwitterOAuth(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET,
OAUTH_TOKEN, OAUTH_SECRET);
$content = $connection->get('account/verify_credentials');
Is the problem that I am missing a step? All I got in step 1 was a
request token but not an access token?
Thanks,
Joe
p.s. Apologies to the mod for sending my cons sec key with the post.
Not a good idea to post code at in the wee hours, especially a sat
night.
