i am new to OAuth
i want to know how to use "Twitter OAuth library from Abraham Wiliam" to get user's credential information.such as screen_name.
A:
You don't need to be authenticated to get public user information: you can just use simple web requests to http://api.twitter.com/1/users/show/StephenFry.xml etc. Documentation here.

It looks like you want to call this API method with an OAuth-authenticated call: http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method%3A-account%C2%A0verify_credentials. There's example calls to this in both index.php and test.php in Abraham's OAuth library.

Sure - if you use those tokens to authenticate a request to http://api.twitter.com/1/account/verify_credentials.xml, e.g. `$content = $connection->get('account/verify_credentials');` with that library, you'll get back the user information.
