Authentication example not working? about tumblr.php HOT 5 CLOSED

After it outputs the url, it's awaiting some input from you. Check out this snippet from the script:

// get the verifier (will be in URL that the user comes back to)
echo "\noauth_verifier: ";
$handle = fopen('php://stdin', 'r');
$line = fgets($handle);

you need to visit the page, authorize your app, and copy down the oauth_verifier query string parameter, and enter it here. Then, it should properly print out your token and secret.

Any chance on elaborating on that? I've come across multiple guides using other libraries that takes this further, but I'd really like to stick with this one (it's possible that the third party ones are outdated aswell).

How would the flow work in real a app? What do you mean by "here" for example? Is that part supposed to live in the callback in a real app? I'm sure other besides me would appreciate more in detail information about this. Thanks!

Well, "here" in my example is standard-in from a terminal. The example code is mean to be run from a command line.

Yes, the snippet I reference (and code below it) would live in the callback to your application. You should be able to separate out the snippet into the three OAuth tasks: getting a request token, user authorization, then exchanging the request token for an access token.

You might want to read a bit more about OAuth here, which should help better illuminate what happens in each of the three legs:

Thanks for the help!

Since it's not a matter of issue with the code per se, I'm moving this discussion to Stack Overflow for further help. If someone has experience with this, I'd be very happy if you'd be able to help out.

No problem @intelligence. Yeah, that's probably a better forum for this now that it looks like it's an implementation question, not an issue with the project.

Looks like you already got it sorted out there too! Closing this now.
