   Once Twitter authenticates and redirects back to the 'application', I get an empty array ($userinfo), which results in:

   An error occurred while trying to retrieve your Twitter username. Please try again.

   Is this a result of Twitter's API updates? If so, any plans to catch things up? If not, what's going awry?

   Thanks!

   Hi Cliff,

   I can't help but have noticed exactly the same issue myself.

   Update:

   Found this: https://dev.twitter.com/discussions/976?page=1

   apparently xml is no longer supported - that's what it's trying to use.

   Hey Cliff,

   The problem seems to be with xml support disapearing. I managed to fix the issue myself in the code:

   'commented out these lines and added a few to grab the twitter details without using xml

   // $to->format = 'xml';
   // $twitterInfo = new SimpleXMLElement($xml);

   $content = $to->get('account/verify_credentials');
   $id = $content->id;
   $screen_name = $content->screen_name;
   $name = $content->name;
   $url = $content->url;
