  4. Well, how can I say it.... hmmmmm... I like the fact that you are sharing your code and we all gotta thank you for that but... this is not a tutorial, is just posting the code.

    In the other hand I was testing the demo and it looks like not even your own test connects to Twitter. It does actually request for authorization but when you come back to the site it keeps saying "Add twitter account", I tried ignoring that and posted a tweet which never made it to the twitter website.

  6. On your lab page there is option to display more tweets then just the last one. I saw that you are using &page parameter. Can you please explain how to get older tweets with that parameter?

    Thank you

  8. works great.
    I'm kinda new to Json
    How can I pass parameters?

    For example "count=5" to have only 5 posts.

    $hometimeline = $Twitter->get_statusesHome_timeline();

    Can I do something like ?
    $Twitter->addparameter:count=5;

    ReplyDelete
  9. $hometimeline = Twitter->get_statusesHome_timeline(array('count'=>5));
    try this.
