Oauth header issue with twitter api 1.1 - php

Question

I've been trying to access the new twitter api (1.1) for 3 days now, the new oauth system and i are not compatible. I only want to grab 3 of my latest tweets (which are public so why the need for oauth over simple rss is annoying)
<?php
$header = 'GET /statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=NAME&count=3&include_rts=false HTTP/1.1
Host: https://www.twtter.com:443
Authorization: OAuth realm="https://https://www.twtter.com/statuses/user_timeline.json",
oauth_consumer_key="key",
oauth_token="mytoken",
oauth_nonce="",
oauth_timestamp="0",
oauth_signature_method="HMAC-SHA1",
oauth_version="1.0",
oauth_signature="O4yJhqnYlxMP5U97rJ%2F4UuLjh84%3D"';
$url = "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=NAME&count=3&include_rts=false";
$options = array(
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => $header,
CURLOPT_HEADER => false,
CURLOPT_URL => $url,
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false
);
$feed = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($feed, $options);
$json = curl_exec($feed);
curl_close($feed);
?>
The header seems to be the problem ( i generated it using: http://hueniverse.com/oauth/guide/authentication/ )
NAME, MYTOKEN, KEY are placeholders for posts' sake.
Can anyone see what the problem is?

This is what I use. Just call returnTweet()
For more info about 'user_timeline', visit API documentation
function buildBaseString($baseURI, $method, $params) {
$r = array();
ksort($params);
foreach($params as $key=>$value){
$r[] = "$key=" . rawurlencode($value);
}
return $method."&" . rawurlencode($baseURI) . '&' . rawurlencode(implode('&', $r));
}
function buildAuthorizationHeader($oauth) {
$r = 'Authorization: OAuth ';
$values = array();
foreach($oauth as $key=>$value)
$values[] = "$key=\"" . rawurlencode($value) . "\"";
$r .= implode(', ', $values);
return $r;
}
function returnTweet(){
$oauth_access_token = "xxx";
$oauth_access_token_secret = "xxx";
$consumer_key = "xxx";
$consumer_secret = "xxx";
$twitter_timeline = "user_timeline"; // mentions_timeline / user_timeline / home_timeline / retweets_of_me
// create request
$request = array(
'trim_user' => 1,
'screen_name' => 'budidino',
'count' => '3'
);
$oauth = array(
'oauth_consumer_key' => $consumer_key,
'oauth_nonce' => time(),
'oauth_signature_method' => 'HMAC-SHA1',
'oauth_token' => $oauth_access_token,
'oauth_timestamp' => time(),
'oauth_version' => '1.0'
);
// merge request and oauth to one array
$oauth = array_merge($oauth, $request);
// do some magic
$base_info = buildBaseString("https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/$twitter_timeline.json", 'GET', $oauth);
$composite_key = rawurlencode($consumer_secret) . '&' . rawurlencode($oauth_access_token_secret);
$oauth_signature = base64_encode(hash_hmac('sha1', $base_info, $composite_key, true));
$oauth['oauth_signature'] = $oauth_signature;
// make request
$header = array(buildAuthorizationHeader($oauth), 'Expect:');
$options = array( CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => $header,
CURLOPT_HEADER => false,
CURLOPT_URL => "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/$twitter_timeline.json?". http_build_query($request),
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false);
$feed = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($feed, $options);
$json = curl_exec($feed);
curl_close($feed);
return json_decode($json, true);
}
I hope it helps ;)
