Getting Twitter tweets

[Fidbeck]

I can't work around this code

    <?php
    $username = "";
    $password = "";
    $timeline = curl_init("http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_ ... me=amgarak");
    curl_setopt($timeline, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $username.":".$password);
    curl_setopt($timeline, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    $result = curl_exec($timeline);
    $result = new SimpleXMLElement($result);
    echo $result->status[0]->text;
    ?>

to display my tweets.
In the tutorial I saw they work fine but I can't make it work, don't know why.

Could you please help me here

added this

    $result = curl_exec($timeline);
    print_r($result);
    $result = new SimpleXMLElement($result);

and what I got was

Basic authentication is not supported

Twitter made a change to their API a few years ago now that made this method no longer work. You now have to use OAuth which is a bit more complicated.
