Question

Not completely new to PHP itself, but new to using OOP w/ PHP.

Object instantiation & calling method exist in different file.

index.php has this:

<?php
require_once 'scripts/twitteroauth/oauth_index.php';
?>

oauth_index.php has this:

$twitter = new TwitterOAuth(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET, $access_token['oauth_token'], $access_token['oauth_token_secret']);

and the file submitting the tweet, submitMessage.php contains this:

include 'twitteroauth/oauth_index.php';

$message = $_GET['message'];
$time = $_GET['time'];

$status = "#" . $message . $time; 

$twitter->updateStatus($status);
$output = $twitter->updateStatus($status);

Have tested:
The form submits successfully & gets to the PHP file. The updateStatus() method works fine if it is used within index.php. However, when I submit the form, it is passed to a js function, which passes the variables to the submitMessage.php, and then responds with all the text after $twitter->. It responds “updateStatus($status);$output = $twitter->updateStatus($status);”

Any ideas as to what I’m doing wrong? Thanks for any help.

entirety of sendMessage.php

<?

include 'twitteroauth/oauth_index.php';

$message = $_GET['message'];
$time = $_GET['time'];

$status = "#" . $message . $time; 

$output = $twitter->updateStatus($status);
$twitterReturn = new SimpleXMLElement($output);
echo $output;

?>

Answer 1

You need to echo the $output;
