Examples

Example #1 OAuth::getRequestToken example

<?php
try {
    $oauth = new OAuth(OAUTH_CONSUMER_KEY,OAUTH_CONSUMER_SECRET);
    $request_token_info = $oauth->getRequestToken("https://example.com/oauth/request_token");
    if(!empty($request_token_info)) {
        print_r($request_token_info);
    } else {
        print "Failed fetching request token, response was: " . $oauth->getLastResponse();
    }
} catch(OAuthException $E) {
    echo "Response: ". $E->lastResponse . "\n";
}
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

Array
(
    [oauth_token] => some_token
    [oauth_token_secret] => some_token_secret
)
