Answer 1

Did you, perhaps, consider checking the Twitter API documentation and OAuth examples before posting this question? Were they somehow lacking?

Dear Chuck,

When I just test the url http://api.twitter.com/1/direct_messages.xml?page=3,I got error

Basic authentication is not supported

even I have already login at twitter.

Answer 3

ok boss.. I have tried as

 <?php
include_once "config.php";
$token='RRRRRDDDXXXXXXXX@##W#22222';
$secret='XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX';
 $to = new TwitterOAuth($consumer_key, $consumer_secret, $token, $secret);
 $url_status="http://api.twitter.com/1/direct_messages.xml?page=3";
 $do_dm=simplexml_load_string($to->OAuthRequest($url_status, 'GET',array()));
 foreach ($do_dm->status as $twit1)                                    {                                                                                
$description = $twit1->text;                                       print_r($description);                                    
 }
 ?>

but didn't get any result? when I checked line 6.. I got the error like "Incorrect signature".. is it wrong?
