php-twitter-bot

A module based bot written in php that takes commands from a twitter account

Usage

1. Create a twitter account
2. Set up the twitter account and an email in index.php
3. Add something like this to your cron

   * *     * * * root lynx -dump http://www.example.com/path/to/bot >/dev/null 2>&1

4. Tweet the command you want to run separated by a space for additional arguments

Extending

It's really simple to extend it, just add a new class into modules and then call that from twitter.

Todo

• Force specific functions to be present in the modules by class inheritance
• Better syntax for commands
• Extend command functionality to allow commands over multiple tweets

Ideas for extensions

• PreDB lookup
• People lookup
• Ping function
• Whatever seems like a fun idea
