I have the following code

    $curl_handle = curl_init();
    $api_url = 'http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/home_timeline.json';
        curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_URL, $api_url);
    if (true) {
        curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_USERPWD, 'mytwitterusername:mypass');
    }
    curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
    curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Expect:'));
    $twitter_data = curl_exec($curl_handle);
    $this->http_status = curl_getinfo($curl_handle, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
    $this->last_api_call = $api_url;
    curl_close($curl_handle);
    var_dump($this->http_status);
    var_dump($twitter_data);
    return $twitter_data;

And it returns
{“errors”:[{“code”:53,”message”:”Basic authentication is not supported”}]}

Can anyone figure it out what is the problem. Thanks in advance..

    As the error message states, the problem is that basic authentication is not supported.

    You need to use OAuth to authenticate with Twitter.
