Great question. My understanding is that you can't do this with this app, but I am confused as to the difference between using OAUTH tokens and getting a user logging in. I've posted a question on StackOverflow relating to this, which I hope will get answered- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19657582/using-the-twitter-api-with-an-app-using-app-oauth-keys-or-user-logging-in

It would be great if there was an option for the Twitter PHP wrapper script to allow both methods, but that might complicate what is a fantastic and simple script.

Yeah, the class, as is, is unfit for requesting OAuth tokens (it's only supposed to be used once you have one.) There are a couple things that would have to be changed first:

• This would have to include the oaut_callback parameters
• This would have to remove the encoded access token after the ampersand
• Urlencoding the values in the base string, as discussed in Critical? Missing rawurlencode #46.

Thanks, John. It looks like there are two ways of connecting to the Twitter API using OAUTH:

1. Application-only authentication - dev.twitter.com/docs/auth/application-only-auth
2. Single-user OAuth - dev.twitter.com/docs/auth/oauth/single-user-with-examples

Are there any plans on making the class allow application only auth as well?
