Can anyone please convert this short little python script to PHP. I had a go at it myself with no luck

import twitter
from sets import Set

username = 'username_here'
password = 'password_here'
api = twitter.Api(username=username, password=password)

following = api.GetFriends()
friendNames = Set()
for friend in following:
    friendNames.add(friend.screen_name)

followers = api.GetFollowers()
for follower in followers:
    if (not follower.screen_name in friendNames):
        api.CreateFriendship(follower.screen_name)

Thank You!

You're going to need to find a PHP version of that API. Assuming that there is a drop in replacement for it the code would look like:

PHP Code:

require_once('twitter.php'); //the path to the twitter api .php file

$username = 'username_here';
$password = 'password_here';
$api = new Api($username, $password); //this line may be different
//depending on what the twitter constructor looks like

$following = $api->getFriends();
$friendNames = array();
foreach($following as $friend)
{
     $friendNames[] = friend->screen_name;
}

$followers = $api->GetFollowers();
foreach($followers as $follower)
{
    if(!in_array($follower->screen_name, $friendNames))
    {
          $api->CreateFriendship($follower->screen_name);
    }
} 


This code might be different depending on differences between the php and python twitter api.

Thank You soo much! +Rep
