"</pre>"; ?> And something weird displayed.. thanks in advance. //////////////////////////new.class.php\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ <?php /** * Twitter interface class * Nov 26 2007 Nick Beam * Bugs, comments, questions: winkerb...@gmail.com * http://rbrw.net -- http://tinydinosaur.com * * This is a simple interface to the Twitter API. * I've tried to keep as close as possible to the real API * calls (some had to be changed due to ambiguity), but all * of the arguments are as they are in the official docs. * * Usage: * $twitter = new Twitter("username", "password"); * $public_timeline_xml = $twitter->getPublicTimeline("xml"); * * Methods: * getPublicTimeline($format [, $since_id]) * getFriendsTimeline($format [, $id [, $since ]]) * getUserTimeline($format [, $id [, $count [, $since ]]]) * showStatus($format, $id) * updateStatus($status) * destroyStatus($format, $id) * getReplies($format [, $page ]) * getFriends($format [, $id ]) * getFollowers($format [, $lite ]) * getFeatured($format) * showUser($format [, $id [, $email ]]) * getMessages($format [, $since [, $since_id [, $page ]]]) * getSentMessages($format [, $since [, $since_id [, $page ]]]) * newMessage($format, $user, $text) * destroyMessage($format, $id) * createFriendship($format, $id) * destroyFriendship($format, $id) * verifyCredentials([$format]) * endSession() * getArchive($format [, $page ]) * getFavorites($format [, $id [, $page ]]) * createFavorite($format, $id) * destroyFavorite($format, $id) * lastStatusCode() * lastAPICall() */ class Twitter { /* Username:password format string */ private $credentials; /* Contains the last HTTP status code returned */ private $http_status; /* Contains the last API call */ private $last_api_call; /* Twitter class constructor */ function Twitter($username, $password) { $this->credentials = sprintf("%s:%s", $username, $password); } function getPublicTimeline($format, $since_id = 0) { $api_call = sprintf("http://twitter.com/statuses/public_timeline. %s", $format); if ($since_id > 0) { $api_call .= sprintf("?since_id=%d", $since_id); } return $this->APICall($api_call); } function getFriendsTimeline($format, $id = NULL, $since = NULL) { if ($id != NULL) { $api_call = sprintf("http://twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline/ %s.%s", $id, $format); } else { $api_call = sprintf("http://twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline. %s", $format); } if ($since != NULL) { $api_call .= sprintf("?since=%s", urlencode($since)); } return $this->APICall($api_call, true); } function getUserTimeline($format, $id = NULL, $count = 20, $since = NULL) { if ($id != NULL) { $api_call = sprintf("http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/%s. %s", $id, $format); } else { $api_call = sprintf("http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline.%s", $format); } if ($count != 20) { $api_call .= sprintf("?count=%d", $count); } if ($since != NULL) { $api_call .= sprintf("%ssince=%s", (strpos($api_call, "?count=") === false) ?
