How to Use the Twitter API

Here is a PHP class to push Twitter updates from your own web app:

<?
class twitter {
    function twitter($username,$password) {
        $this->username=$username;
        $this->password=$password;
        $this->baseurl = "http://twitter.com/";
    }
    
    function tweet($message) {
        # status
        $url = $this->baseurl."statuses/update.xml";
        $session = curl_init();
        curl_setopt ( $session, CURLOPT_URL, $url );
        curl_setopt ( $session, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC );
        curl_setopt ( $session, CURLOPT_HEADER, false );
        curl_setopt ( $session, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $this->username . ":" . $this->password );
        curl_setopt ( $session, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1 );
        curl_setopt ( $session, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
        curl_setopt ( $session, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,"status=" . $message);
        $result = curl_exec ( $session );
        curl_close( $session );
        print $result;
    }
}
?>
