Code snippet from my blogpost How to Tweet using PHP (http://ninad.pundaliks.in/blog/2009/08/how-to-tweet-using-your-own-php-script-2/). Deprecated code, depended on Twitter API v1 and Basic Authentication. Will not work anymore

twitter_ajax.php

<?php
if($_REQUEST['ajax_req']== true)
{
  //Process the tweet
	$username = $_REQUEST['username'];
	$password = $_REQUEST['password'];
	$status = $_REQUEST['status'];
  $auth_string = $username.":".$password;
	$postdata = array('status' => $status );
  $options = array(
		CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER	=>	true,
		CURLOPT_POST		=>	true,
		CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS	=>	$postdata,
		CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER	=>	false,
		CURLOPT_URL		=>	'https://twitter.com/statuses/update.json',
		CURLOPT_USERPWD	=>	$auth_string
	);
	$ch = curl_init();
	curl_setopt_array($ch, $options);
	$data = curl_exec($ch);
	curl_close($ch);
	Header('Type: application/json')
	die($data);
}
?>
