I have a requirement for php script which works as below.The Database is having list of some 20 twitterIDs.Webapp should be able to post a tweet on behalf of any of the twitterID given in the list.This happens back-door that means no user interaction will be involved like redirecting to Twitter Authentication page to allow twitterApp to access some stuff and user will accept to allow access.User doesn’t know about this back-end operation.

My questions is :

  1. Is this possible / feasible ?
  2. If possible, how should i approach the development roadmap . My technology is PHP based and involves REST APi integration to a smartphone client.

Looking forward for some deep explanation.

    You need more than just the twitter IDs to post on their behalf. They will have to authenticate the application first.

    This generates two tokens OAuthToken and OAuthTokenSecret, which can be stored in your database back-end and consequently, be used from your PHP back-end to post on behalf of the user, till the user deauthorizes your application, at which point OAuthToken won’t function anymore.

    Twitter OAuthTokens do NOT expire, but the user can revoke your access.

    You can implement the above in PHP using one of the Twitter PHP libraries
