I haven’t changed the code except for username and password, so anyone has an idea why this error?

This no long seems to work

the code:
$target = “http://twitter.com/statuses/followers/”.$username.”.xml”;

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $target);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $login);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);

$gettwit = curl_exec($ch);

$twitters = new SimpleXMLElement($gettwit);

$this->twitters = $twitters;
var_dump( $twitters);

this the error.. in var_dump()

object(SimpleXMLElement)#187 (1) {
["error"]=>
string(37) “Basic authentication is not supported”
}

maybe the api change, your update the script ?
