I'm looking to implement Twitter into an internal existing system. I need to use several features of the API (such as mentions) that require authorization.
From my understanding, this can only be used with a Twitter application, and as such I've created one.
However it all seams very public facing, asking for details like website URL, and application description, which in my case I do not need or want.
I simply need to authorize my system to make calls to the API, am I going about it the right way?
If not, is there a certain PHP library / alternative way of getting autorized? I can't imagine i'm first in this situation?
Thanks!
You'll need to provide these details so Twitter knows what kind of application you're building. If your application is not going to publish any tweets, that's entirely fine; if you're simply making GET requests, your application information won't be published anywhere.
If you don't have a public-facing URL for your application, you can enter a placeholder or a fake URL.

I need to do a MASSIVE data mine. I want to find out;
A users location
Look at their tweets for specific words in the last two days
Repeat (ideally) for every twitter user
I've seen R recommended somewhere, but wouldn't really know where to begin.
Happy with CSV, json or SQL endpoint.
As you tagged "python" in your question, I'm going to assume you're ok with it ! Twitter lets you access its data by two APIs :
REST API allows you to make specific user requests (profile, friends, etc.), but it only allows a few queries per hour, so it probably does not meet your "massive data" criterion
The streaming API delivers tweets based on a search on real-time. You can definitely harvest massive data using this API, and if I remember correctly, tweets come up with useful infos (user who tweeted of course, but probably location too if enabled).
Tweepy (http://www.tweepy.org/) is a user-friendly Python library implementing both Twitter APIs, providing particularly helpful functions for capturing data from the streaming API (see examples here : https://github.com/tweepy/examples).

I've recently built a simple messaging system for some work colleagues and I am currently working on optimizing current functionality. Many users are complaining of a messy-looking message display system.
The thing that I currently have in place is a PHP file inside of an iFrame that refreshes every 15 seconds. However this is undesirable and wastes resources.
As a result I was wondering if there are any tutorials out there that propose better methods, similar to those used by Facebook whereby the comment is automatically loaded upon posting.
http://ajaxim.com/ <-- Ajax Instant Messaging framework. :)
EDIT :
You might also want to try this http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2012/05/09/building-real-time-commenting-system/ which is a good that guides you through making a realtime comment system.
That system is built using HTML 5. (PHP and Ajax too of course) And it's using Websockets :)
Oh, and a link to a previously asked question that is similar:
Instant notification using php/mysql,please give me a general idea

I am planning to create myself a photo storing solution - like dropbox, just in my own server and only with photos.
I was thinking of only one public page - login form. So when you enter www.example.com > you end up with a login form > after login you see your albums and you can easily create new ones/upload photos, bulk download and etc.
The system has to be super easy to use (senior citizen will be using it), should be compatible with mobile phones and all photos should be absolutely private!
I have searched online, but most of the systems are overcrowded with unnecessary tools that make the system complicated and orientated more to public galleries.
Any ideas of similar systems already created that I could use?
You have a few options here, personally I would just build this as that way you are getting exactly what you want.
However, not everyone has the time or patience I have. So as an alternative :
OwnCloud is the best option here in my opinion as I have installed and used this before. It is very user friendly and simple to install.
OR I would suggest investigating these : alternatives

Having looked through all the developer pages on facebook and about a million out of date tutorials on google, I cannot find a simple way to post to a facebook page (note, this is a fan page, not a personal one) via PHP. I do not need to get contacts or images or anything like that. I will be updating a blog every so often and I just want to post a link to each post on facebook automatically.
Does anyone have an up to date tutorial for this?
Why just don't import your blog with a feed: http://www.insidefacebook.com/2009/02/22/how-to-import-your-blog-into-facebook/ ?
You can try something I wrote on updating the news feed in PHP.
You could also use special services like deliverIt if you do not want to mess around with the FaceBook API yourself.
I ended up using RSSGraffitti for it. However, I did not know of the existance of dlvr.it and as it looks much nicer to use I may change it.

I have generated my REST API, and now I have to write a documentation for the API.
As the API is mainly generated by a third-party plugin it's not possible to generate the DOC automatically.
So what the best tool (to save time) to manually write a DOC?
PS: I do have github account, I wonder if the user pages can fit this need.
You might want to take a look at TechWriter for Web Services. It also supports generating documentation for REST APIs.
You can spent sometime to put DocBlock into all function/class you have built
A tool like PHPDOC is available for you to compile DocBlock into documentation and regenerate whatever you need (into your desired format).
Not to mention, is stored as static HTML
