Trying to alter a php script so that instead of sending status updates sends direct message updates.

# MailTwitterPHP: Update Twitter via email
#
# Version: 0.2
# Date:    January 16, 2007
# Author:  Scott Jarkoff

#
# Notes:   1) This is a work in progress. MailTwitterPHP will currently
#          connect to a specified server via IMAP and use all email
#          in the INBOX on the server as the basis for a new Twitter
#          post. There is minimal "security" added in that the subject
#          line of the email must match one of the settings.
#          2) PHP *MUST* have IMAP compiled in otherwise this script
#          will not function.
#
# Plans:   Add the ability to use POP3 in addition to IMAP.
#
# Disclaimer: All attempts have been made to ensure this functions as 
#             described above. In the event that something goes awry, the
#             author is not to be held liable. There is no guarantee that
#             this script will not cause you to lose your girlfriend,
#             run up your electric bill, delete all files on your server,
#             etc... Use *COMMON SENSE* for crying out loud. :-)
#
# 0.2:     Modified the script so that it uses POST, as it should have
#          been using from day 1.

Can anyone see what I am doing wrong must be something obvious...

why do you need to have

 

$twitter_update = "http://twitter.com/direct_messages/new.xml?user=russdev_ping&text=";

 

wouldn't it be:

$twitter_update = "http://twitter.com/direct_messages/new.xml?user=russdev&text=";

As russdev is my main account and then russdev_ping is a second account which use to have status and various other messages sent to me.

 

so russdev account is sending the message to russdev_ping.
