Syncing Fanfou with Twitter

@kofai asked me to share my Fanfou to Twitter sync script. It’s not art, but it works, so here goes:

<?php
define(STATUS_PATH, '/home/www/twitbridg/status/');

include_once('password.php');
$since_id = file_get_contents(STATUS_PATH.$twitter_username.'.last') OR $since_id = '1';
// The twitter API address
$url = 'https://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/'.$twitter_username.'.xml?since_id='.$since_id;

$curl_handle = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_URL, "$url");
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 2);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_GET, 1);
$buffer = curl_exec($curl_handle);
curl_close($curl_handle);

if (empty($buffer))
  die('failed to get tweets: '.$since_id."\n");
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($buffer);
$i = sizeof($xml->status)-1;

if($i<0) exit;

while($i >= 0) {
// Update FanFou
$url = 'http://api.fanfou.com/statuses/update.xml';
$curl_handle = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_URL, "$url");
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 2);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "source=".urlencode("<a href=\"http://twitter.com/".$twitter_username."\">Twitter</a>")."&amp;status=".urlencode($xml->status[$i]->text));
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$fanfou_username:$fanfou_password");
$buffer = curl_exec($curl_handle);
curl_close($curl_handle);
$i--;
}
$last_id = $xml->status[0]->id;
$fp = fopen(STATUS_PATH.$twitter_username.'.last', 'w');
fwrite($fp, $last_id);
fclose($fp);
?>
As you can see it includes a password.php. This sets a few login variables. You can just insert them at the top of the above PHP file, but as I edit my code in public places I prefer not to do that.

<?php
$twitter_username = 'nielspeen';
$fanfou_username = 'nielspeen';
$fanfou_password = '123xyz';
?>

Enjoy!
