Question

I am new to twitter API and I am using the Abraham Williams PHP twitter library to oauth user and sign in.

    require_once ("twitteroauth.php");

    /* Build TwitterOAuth object with client credentials. */
    $connection = new TwitterOAuth($this->consumer_key, $this->consumer_secret);

    /* Get temporary credentials. */
    $request_token = $connection->getRequestToken($this->callback);

    /* Save temporary credentials to session. */
    $this->session->set_userdata('oauth_token', $request_token['oauth_token']);
    $this->session->set_userdata('oauth_token_secret', $request_token['oauth_token_secret']);

    /* If last connection failed don't display authorization link. */
    switch ($connection->http_code)
    {
        case 200:
            $url = $connection->getAuthorizeURL($request_token['oauth_token'], TRUE);
            header('Location: ' . $url);
            break;

        default:
            echo 'Could not connect to Twitter. Refresh the page or try again later.';
    }

But I always get an error the message “Could not connect to twitter’ and I’m not redirected to the twitter oauth page. What am I doing wrong.

Answer 1

I figured out the problem. I hadn’t provided with a callback url in the app settings and twitter saw this as a desktop app instead of a web app.
