Introduction

Codeigniter Framework needs a nice clean PHP Object Oriented class for displaying Tweets in a page. I intend to show some implementation of a twitter client for Codeigniter. And use it to securely access your account tweets or display general trending tweets based on a search parameter. You will need to know how to create a twitter API for some of this to work. My goal is to use JQUERY and PHP to communicate to twitter through and API that will be based off of the codeigniter MVC Framework.

Question - If we use this code for a client, can we donate money to thank you for your efforts?
Answer - Yes. Please use the donation button below. Thank you!

Note: these pages are under construction; so please bear with me as I add more functionality to them.
Check back often!

PHP Code

Here is the handler URI I use:

http://username:password@twitter.com/favorites.xml

Then the code I call to work the function in the Controller is:

/* Another method to help*/

function URLopen($url)
{
// Fake the browser type
ini_set('user_agent','MSIE 4\.0b2;');

$dh = fopen("$url",'r');
$result = fread($dh,8192);
return $result;
}
$returned = URLopen("http://$username:$password@twitter.com/favorites.xml");

JavaScript
