Twitter api 1.1 is not loading all followers - php

Question

I have a program to get followers details of a person. the code is working fine upto the follower count 3000. i tried with another person which have 200000 Followers. Unfortunately it is showing only 300 followers why this happen? is there any way to fix this?
Here is my code
<?php
ini_set('max_execution_time', '50000000');
ini_set('post_max_size', '100M');
require_once('TwitterAPIExchange.php');
$consumerKey = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
$consumerKeySecret = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
$accessToken = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
$accessTokenSecret = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
$settings = array(
'oauth_access_token' => $accessToken,
'oauth_access_token_secret' => $accessTokenSecret,
'consumer_key' => $consumerKey,
'consumer_secret' => $consumerKeySecret
);
$i = 0;
$cursor = -1;
do {
$url = 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/followers/list.json';
$getfield = '?cursor='.$cursor.'&screen_name=BeingSalmanKhan&skip_status=true&include_user_entities=false';
$requestMethod = 'GET';
$twitter = new TwitterAPIExchange($settings);
$response = $twitter->setGetfield($getfield)
->buildOauth($url, $requestMethod)
->performRequest();
$response = json_decode($response, true);
$errors = $response["errors"];
if (!empty($errors)) {
foreach($errors as $error){
$code = $error['code'];
$msg = $error['message'];
echo "<br><br>Error " . $code . ": " . $msg;
}
$cursor = 0;
}
else {
$users = $response['users'];
print_r($users);
echo'<table>';
echo '<tr>';
echo '<td>No:</td>';
echo '<td>Name</td>';

$url = $user['screen_name'];
$name = $user['name'];
$description = $user['description'];
$location = $user['location'];
$followers_count = $user['followers_count'];

Answer 1

At last i got solution for this. This is the only way i found,
Save the last cursor and sent this cursor after 15 minutes as first cursor. it will show another 300 followers.
Thanks

Answer 2

https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/get/followers/ids
Technically, the limit of followers returned each request is 5000.
Are you sure that the count is really 300 in any cases ? Did you display the count of the list you have ?
