FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Informations about the package php-twitter-widget

PHP Twitter Widget

A PHP alternative to the Twitter Embed Timelines JavaScript.

Twitter Embedded Timelines allow you to show your latest tweets using JavaScript. While this can help you easily implement your latest tweets on you website, I needed to create a similar effect without including any additional JavaScript files on the web page.

I decided to create a script that will fetch tweets server side, and allow for including in a web page without JavaScript includes. I also needed to ensure I cached the result, to avoid hitting API limits.

Using the popular TwitterOAuth PHP Library for authentication, we can access the Twitter Rest API.

Works with PHP 5.3+ through to PHP 7.

Usage

First, you need to head over to https://apps.twitter.com and register your new Application. You will need the following keys for your new 'App'.

You can now install the PHP Twitter Widget using composer:

To implement, first instantiate a TwitterWidget with your credentials to fetch the feed. The feed will be cached so we don't call the API on every page load. The default cache file age limit is 3600 seconds (1 hour).

You can then use the following to display the feed on your web page, passing the your chosen feed title, such as "My Tweets". The second optional parameter should be a boolean of whether to print(true) or return(false) the formatted feed. The third optional parameter is the tweet date format - default = M d H:i A.

Requirements

Works with PHP 5.3, PHP 5.5, PHP 5.6, and PHP 7
