I’ve just updated the Mini Bot Php Class with an improved version of the twitterInfo function, here is the code of the new function, I’ve added the avatar image url:
/* this function is part of the Mini Bot Class */
//
// get twitter infos from nickname
// and get avatar url
public function twitterInfo($nick) {
$user_agent = "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)";
$ch = curl_init(); // initialize curl handle
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://twitter.com/$nick"); // set url to post to
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, 1); // Fail on errors
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1); // allow redirects
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1); // return into a variable
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PORT, 80); //Set the port number
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 15); // times out after 15s
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $user_agent);
$document = curl_exec($ch);
preg_match_all('#<div class="stats">(.*)</div>#Uis', $document, $stats);
preg_match_all('#<span[^>]*?>(.*)</span>#Uis', $stats[1][0], $spans);
$o = array();
for ($i=0;$i<count($spans[0]);$i++) {
if ($this->attr($spans[0][$i],"id")=="following_count") $o['following'] = $spans[1][$i];
if ($this->attr($spans[0][$i],"id")=="follower_count") $o['follower'] = $spans[1][$i];
if ($this->attr($spans[0][$i],"id")=="lists_count") $o['lists'] = $spans[1][$i];
}
$o['avatar'] = "";
preg_match_all('#<img [^>]*?>#Uis', $document, $t);
for ($i=0;$i<count($t[0]);$i++) if (attr($t[0][$i],"id")=="profile-image") $o['avatar'] = attr($t[0][$i],"src");
return $o;
}
