Twitter for PHP (c) David Grudl, 2008 (http://davidgrudl.com)

Introduction
------------

Twitter for PHP is a very small and easy-to-use library for sending
messages to Twitter and receiving status updates.

Project at GoogleCode: http://twitter-php.googlecode.com
Twitter's API documentation: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/web/api-documentation
My PHP blog: http://phpfashion.com

Requirements
------------
- PHP (version 5 or better)
- cURL extension

Usage
-----

Create object using your credentials (user name and password)

$twitter = new Twitter($userName, $password);

The send() method updates your status. The message must be encoded in UTF-8:

$twitter->send('I am fine today.');

The load() method returns the 20 most recent status updates
posted in the last 24 hours by you and optionally by your friends:

$withFriends = FALSE;
$channel = $twitter->load($withFriends);

The returned channel is a SimpleXMLElement object. Extracting
the information from the channel is easy:

foreach ($channel->status as $status) {
echo "message: ", $status->text;
echo "posted at " , $status->created_at;
echo "posted by " , $status->user->name;
}

The authenticate() method tests if user credentials are valid:

if (!$twitter->authenticate()) {
die('Invalid name or password');
}
