Twitter lists the PHP Libraries below on their developer site. I’m working my way through their code, but I wanted to get some feedback from the community of experts.

  1. Are there others which are newer / better?
  2. Which one is the most widely used?
  3. What are the advantages and disadvantages for each?
  • Oauth-php by Corollarium Technologies – an OAuth library for clients and providers
  • Services_Twitter (PEAR) by Joe Stump, David Jean Louis and Bill Shupp – a Twitter API library
  • TmhOAuth by Matt Harris – an OAuth library (supports file uploading)
  • TwitterOAuth by Abraham Williams – a Twitter API library
  • Twitter async by Jaisen Mathai – a wrapper for Twitter OAuth API (provides asynchronous calls)

Notes: I know the “Which one should I use?” part of the question title is subjective, but I think the question body asks in a more objective way and the title seemed better shorter.

I will upvote all helpful / useful answers 🙂

    I’ve used Abraham’s TwitterOAuth library and find it to be quite good. It comes with some good working example pages that go through the OAuth dance, and provides you with a simple TwitterOAuth object that has methods like get and post.

    // $connection is the instantiated TwitterOAuth object
$connection->post('statuses/update', array('status' => 'Hello, World!', 'in_reply_to_status_id' => 123456));
$tweets = $connection->get('statuses/home_timeline', array('include_entities' => true));

    I can’t comment on the other libraries, as I haven’t used them – but then I haven’t needed to either 😉
