Q: 

How to customize twitter "via" message in PHP ?

I can't find any mention on how to do this with twitter api. I'd like to do it without buying this commercial software: http://www.webdesigndev.com/photoshop/how-to-brand-your-tweets-with-your-url-and-why-you-should

I mean not just having my appname but putting any name I want at any time.

I think it's chosen when you create the application for the twitter API: http://dev.twitter.com/apps/new

Oww, ok. I don't know that. Not sure it's possible.

@user310291 you can only have it be your app name, and it *doesnt* require ever purchasing any commercial software. You could create many apps with different, and have tweets sent from different apps at different times, but its not particularly worthwhile.

@yc but that's what the commercial software does. Do they create an app for each client ? Is there a way they can create an app programmatically ?

A: 

Currently this can only be done if your application implements OAuth authentication to Twitter. In the past, non-OAuth apps were able to send a source parameter, but that has been discontinued for any new apps.

From Twitter's API FAQ

If you would like tweets from your application to receive a source parameter, please register an application and implement OAuth authentication. We will automatically include your application as the source for any tweets sent from your application.

Hello my question is not about how I can show my appname, it's about creating appname for OTHERS.
