thanks a million .. ist is working on my site.
still one thing: twitter response with an
xml output. can i suppress that in any way?

i tried something like
suppress_response_codes=true

but did not work..

I had the sample problem (error 400) with the code provided, when I commented out the extra header settings

//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, 0);
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION,1);
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

it worked for me.

But I did not do anything else on twitter to be over the rate limit…

Any ideas?

There are four possible fields:

status
in_reply_to_status_id
lat
long

To utilize these three additional fields, make the following changes:

1.) Update the parameters of the function:

function updateTwitter($status,$reply_id,$lat,$long){

2.) Now update the $postargs variable like so:

$postargs = ’status=’.urlencode($status).’&in_reply_to_status_id=’.$reply_id.’&lat=’.$lat.’&long=’.$long;

You can also tell the function to return an OK or Error code by replacing the echo statements at the bottom with return statements instead.

When you make the status update call, make sure to pass all of the new parameters, ie:

$tw_response = updateTwitter(‘This is a test response’,'100593049′,’43.399295′,’-122.493094′);
