nvvotecount.php

<?php

/**

 *    https://github.com/themattharris/tmhOAuth
 *
 * Instructions:
 * 1) If you don't have one already, create a Twitter application on
 *      https://dev.twitter.com/apps
 * 2) From the application details page copy the consumer key and consumer
 *      secret into the place in this code marked with (YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY
 *      and YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET)
 * 3) From the application details page copy the access token and access token
 *      secret into the place in this code marked with (A_USER_TOKEN
 *      and A_USER_SECRET)
 * 4) In a terminal or server type:
 *      php /path/to/here/nvvotecount.php
 * 5) To stop the Streaming API either press CTRL-C or, in the folder the
 *      script is running from type:
 *      touch STOP
 * 6) Results will be saved to the file nvvotecount in the same directory
 *      as this file. Full tweet objects will be saved to nvvotecount_raw.
