  • How do I migrate from a basic plaintext password authentication to an OAuth based system?

    - by different
    Hello, Found out today that Twitter will be discontinuing its basic authentication for its API; the push is now towards OAuth but I don’t have a clue as to how to use it or whether it’s the right path for me. All I want to be able to do is post a tweet linking to the most recently published post when I hit publish. Currently I’m sending the login credentials for my Twitter account as plaintext, which I realise isn’t that secure but as my site is fairly small it isn’t an issue at least for now. I’m using this basic PHP code: $status = urlencode(stripslashes(urldecode("Test tweet"))); $tweetUrl = 'http://www.twitter.com/statuses/update.xml'; $curl = curl_init(); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, "$tweetUrl"); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 2); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "status=$status"); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$username:$password"); $result = curl_exec($curl); $resultArray = curl_getinfo($curl); if ($resultArray['http_code'] == 200) { curl_close($curl); $this->redirect(""); } else { curl_close($curl); echo 'Could not post to Twitter. Please go back and try again.'; } How do I move from this to an OAuth system? Do I need to?
