Update Twitter from PHP form?

[woolyg]

Hi all,

 

Does anyone know of a script or class that allows a twitter account to be updated from the text inputted into an input form? I want to be able to input text into one of my content management forms, and upon processing the script, have it automatically show on my twitter account.

 

I've done a few searches, but none are jumping out at me..!

 

Thanks

I did a search for "Twitter API" and got to http://www.newwebplatform.com/tips-and-tutorials/Twitter#PHP

Hi Ken,

 

Thanks for that - I'll look into it.

 

I found a pretty simplistic bit of code that I'm going to try too:

/* settings */
$username = 'myUser';
$password = '**********';
$format = 'xml'; //alternative: json
$message = 'Tweet goes here!';
/* work */
$result = shell_exec('curl http://twitter.com/statuses/update.'.$format.' -u '.$username.':'.$password.' -d status="'.str_replace('"','\"',$message).'"');
echo $result;

 

Cheers
