I am now running my code on a web hosting service http://xtreemhost.com/
<?php
function updateTwitter($status)
{
$username = 'xxxxxx';
$password = 'xxxx';
$url = 'http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml';
$postargs = 'status='.urlencode($status);
$responseInfo=array();
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 2);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
// Give CURL the arguments in the POST
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postargs);
// Set the username and password in the CURL call
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $username.':'.$password);
// Set some cur flags (not too important)
$response = curl_exec($ch);
if($response === false)
{
echo 'Curl error: ' . curl_error($ch);
}
else
{
echo 'Operation completed without any errors<br/>';
}
// Get information about the response
$responseInfo=curl_getinfo($ch);
// Close the CURL connection curl_close($ch);
// Make sure we received a response from Twitter
if(intval($responseInfo['http_code'])==200){
// Display the response from Twitter
echo $response;
}else{
// Something went wrong
echo "Error: " . $responseInfo['http_code'];
}
curl_close($ch);
}
updateTwitter("Just finished a sweet tutorial on http://brandontreb.com");
?>
I get the following error now
Curl error: Couldn't resolve host 'api.twitter.com'
Error: 0
Please somebody solve my problem
