How to get user Access Token and Access Secret with the Twitter API using php

Question

I’m trying to code a couple of php pages for getting users tokens the Twitter API 1.1. I’m using the TwitterOAuth library https://twitteroauth.com/

First page : twi

Answer 1

Alright, actually managed to figure it out myself. Here is my code for those who need it:

First page : twitter-go.php

The user opens it and gets redirected to twitter.com for authorizing the app.

oauth("oauth/request_token", array("oauth_callback" => "http://boulangerie-colas.fr/twitter/twitter-back.php"));
//callback is set to where the rest of the script is

//TAKING THE OAUTH TOKEN AND THE TOKEN SECRET AND PUTTING THEM IN COOKIES (NEEDED IN THE NEXT SCRIPT)
$oauth_token=$request_token['oauth_token'];
$token_secret=$request_token['oauth_token_secret'];
setcookie("token_secret", " ", time()-3600);
setcookie("token_secret", $token_secret, time()+60*10);
setcookie("oauth_token", " ", time()-3600);
setcookie("oauth_token", $oauth_token, time()+60*10);

//GETTING THE URL FOR ASKING TWITTER TO AUTHORIZE THE APP WITH THE OAUTH TOKEN
$url = $connection->url("oauth/authorize", array("oauth_token" => $oauth_token));

//REDIRECTING TO THE URL
header('Location: ' . $url);

?>

Second page : twitter-back.php

The user gets redirected there from twitter once he authorizes the app. It then displays the user Access Token and the user Access Secret.

oauth("oauth/access_token", array("oauth_verifier" => $oauth_verifier));

$accessToken=$access_token['oauth_token'];
$secretToken=$access_token['oauth_token_secret'];

//DISPLAY THE TOKENS
echo "Access Token : ".$accessToken."
";
echo "Secret Token : ".$secretToken."
";

 ?>

Please remember that you need to be using the using the TwitterOAuth library https://twitteroauth.com/

Hope that helps ;)
