How can I get tweets from new twitter api 1.1? - php

Question

I have just implemented https://github.com/thujohn/twitter-l4 for Laravel 4, it basically pulls in an array
of tweets from a search of a hashtag.
It seems like its working, I think there are some things that are not working though.
I get a blank screen with no errors which means a positive sign.
Here is my code.
PHP:
$tweets = Twitter::getSearch(array('q' => 'secretsocial', 'count' => 100, 'format' => 'array'));
var_dump($tweets);
This code basically gives me an array of json:
array (size=2)
'statuses' =>
array (size=20)
0 =>
array (size=24)
'metadata' =>
array (size=2)
'result_type' => string 'recent' (length=6)
'iso_language_code' => string 'en' (length=2)
'created_at' => string 'Fri May 16 14:28:14 +0000 2014' (length=30)
'id' => int 467310562603331586
'id_str' => string '467310562603331586' (length=18)
'text' => string 'On that #merch #grind. #spotify #swag just got shipped in. #secretsocial #free #leeds #leedsuni… http://t.co/67phqjeg5W' (length=121)
'source' => string 'Instagram' (length=59)
'truncated' => boolean false
'in_reply_to_status_id' => null
'in_reply_to_status_id_str' => null
'in_reply_to_user_id' => null
'in_reply_to_user_id_str' => null
'in_reply_to_screen_name' => null
'user' =>
array (size=40)
'id' => int 167993141
'id_str' => string '167993141' (length=9)
'name' => string 'Maral Erol' (length=10)
'screen_name' => string 'liaaca' (length=6)
'location' => string 'Leeds / San Diego' (length=17)
'description' => string 'Music/Culture/Entertainment Enthusiast.' (length=39)
'url' => string 'http://t.co/FL3uuA6QcN' (length=22)
'entities' =>
array (size=2)
'url' =>
array (size=1)
'urls' =>
array (size=1)
0 =>
array (size=4)
'url' => string 'http://t.co/FL3uuA6QcN' (length=22)
'expanded_url' => string 'http://linkd.in/R70tjB' (length=22)
'display_url' => string 'linkd.in/R70tjB' (length=15)
'indices' =>
array (size=2)
0 => int 0
1 => int 22
'description' =>
array (size=1)
'urls' =>
array (size=0)
empty
So from that I wrote this:
if(isset($tweets->statuses) && is_array($tweets->statuses)) {
if(count($tweets->statuses)) {
foreach($tweets->statuses as $tweet) {
echo $tweet->text;
}
}
else {
echo 'The result is empty';
}
}
I get no errors on the page. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
Cheers

Answer 1

Since each $tweet is an array so you should use $tweet['text'] instead of $tweet->text
foreach($tweets->statuses as $tweet) {
echo $tweet['text'];
}
Also $tweets->statuses should be $tweets['statuses'].
