Using Twitter API with PHP and mIRC

Most of the old twitter scripts for mIRC no longer work. Here is a quick guide to create your own. It will require mirc along with PHP

First you will need a PHP Wrapper for Twitter API 1.1 calls. You can get that at https://github.com/J7mbo/twitter-api-php

You will also need a developer twitter account so you can make the app to use with the api. You can set that up @ https://developer.twitter.com/

The php code i used is

<?php
require_once('TwitterAPIExchange.php');

/** Set access tokens here - see: https://dev.twitter.com/apps/ **/
$settings = array(
    'oauth_access_token' => "",
    'oauth_access_token_secret' => "",
    'consumer_key' => "",
    'consumer_secret' => ""
);
// twitter api endpoint
$url = 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json';
	
// twitter api endpoint request type
$requestMethod = 'POST';
if (isset($_POST['sendtxt'])) {
	$sendtxt = $_POST['sendtxt'];
	// twitter api endpoint data
	$apiData = array(
    	'status' => $sendtxt,
	);
 
	// create new twitter for api communication
	$twitter = new TwitterAPIExchange( $settings );
 
	// make our api call to twiiter
	$twitter->buildOauth( $url, $requestMethod );
	$twitter->setPostfields( $apiData );
	$response = $twitter->performRequest( true, array( CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST => 0, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => 0 ) );
 
	// display response from twitter
	echo '<pre>';
	print_r( json_decode( $response, true ) );
}	
?>

Note you will need to better secure the post info. Also you will need to fill in your keys from your developer account.

Then do a simple sock to send the info to the php page

on *:text:*!tweet*:#: {
  tokenize 32 $stripstyle($1-)
  if ($1 == !tweet && $2) {
    msg # attempting tweet please wait...
    set %tweet.msg $2-
    set %tweet.chan #
    starttweet
  }
}  
alias starttweet {
  sockopen -e tweetsend www.sitename.com 443 
}

on *:sockopen:tweetsend:{
  if ($sockerr) { sockclose $sockname | halt }
  var %x sendtxt= $+ %tweet.msg
  sockwrite -n $sockname POST /twitter.php HTTP/1.1
  sockwrite -n $sockname Host: $+(www.sitename.com,:,443)
  sockwrite -n $sockname Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
  sockwrite -n $sockname Content-Length: $len(%x)
  sockwrite -n $sockname $crlf $+ %x
}
on *:sockread:tweetsend: {
  if ($sockerr) { echo -a Error. | halt }
  var %a | sockread %a
  if ([created_at] isin %a) { sockclose $sockname | msg %tweet.chan Tweet successful. https://www.twitter.com/twittername }

}

Once again you will need to edit for your server's domain name and such. Make security changes as needed. Feel free to make and changes or suggest any improvements here.
