How to Tweet Using PHP without any Twitter App!

php code which will help you to upgrade your tweets simply? Here is how.

Code

$username = 'myUserName';
$password = 'myPassword';
$status = 'This is a new Tweet!';

if ($status) {
$tweetUrl = 'http://www.twitter.com/statuses/update.xml';

$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, "$tweetUrl");
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 2);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "status=$status");
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$username:$password");

$result = curl_exec($curl);
$resultArray = curl_getinfo($curl);

if ($resultArray['http_code'] == 200)
echo ‘Tweet Posted’;
else
echo ‘Could not post Tweet to Twitter right now. Try again later.’;

curl_close($curl);
}

Note:

• Change $username to YOUR username
• Change $password to YOUR password
• Edit $status to the Tweet that you want posted.

So this is it. Additionally you can add some more Javascripts that counts the amount of characters in the Tweet field.
