twitter API 1.1: cannot add the 'count' parameter using curl & php

Question

I'm connecting to the new twitter API to get a list of my profiles' public tweets. I'm basically using the following code, which I found here: Simplest PHP example for retrieving user_timeline with Twitter API version 1.1

I'm getting the last 20 tweets and I've tried many different ways to add the "count" parameter to the curl call, but nothing seems to return more results.

I tried giving a value to the $postfields:

$postfields = array(
        'count' => 100,
        'include_rts' => 1
    );

//url-ify the data for the POST
foreach($postfields as $key=>$value) { $fields_string .= $key.'='.$value.'&'; }
rtrim($fields_string, '&');

Giving a simple string value:

§postfields = 'count=100';

and changing the $url value into:

$url = "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/home_timeline.json?count=100";

Any other suggestions?

Thanks for your help!!

This is the complete code for reference:

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;
}

$url = "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json";
$oauth_access_token = "YOURVALUE";
$oauth_access_token_secret = "YOURVALUE";
$consumer_key = "YOURVALUE";
$consumer_secret = "YOURVALUE";

$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');



$base_info = buildBaseString($url, '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;



$header = array(buildAuthorizationHeader($oauth), 'Expect:');
$options = array( CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => $header,
              //CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => $postfields,
              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);
$twitter_data = json_decode($json);

so when I use $postfields = array ('count' => '100') as the CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS parameter I get a 32 code error from twitter. When I disable the $postfields, I get my last 20 tweets. Any clues? — Jiannis S., Oct 23 '12 at 10:52

$items = '15';
$screen_name = 'YOUR SCREEN NAME';
/* the $oauth */
$oauth = array(
        'screen_name' => $screen_name,
        'count' => $items,
        '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'
);

$base_info = buildBaseString($url, '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;



$header = array(buildAuthorizationHeader($oauth), 'Expect:');
$options = array(
        CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => $header,
        //CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => $postfields,
        CURLOPT_HEADER => false,
        CURLOPT_URL => $url . '?screen_name='.$screen_name.'&count='.$items,
        CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false
);
