Free PHP Script to Mass Delete Twitter Friends, People You Follow

I need a lot of followers at Twitter. If you want to delete them, could you transfer your followers to my account instead? LOL I wish you could have that kind of PHP script where you could transfer your followers to another account.

Interesting thought. On a personal level this script would be perfect. I recently went through my Facebook and did just that. Deleted people I haven’t talked to in years! For business, I would have to agree with Singapore SEO Consultant because you never know who you will reach!

Dude this is awsome I’m geting 300-500 folowers dayly just for folowing and then deleteing thrm and them it looks like if I was som1 famous

If the PHP code is visible, then you probably have an issue with your PHP tags. Make sure you are not prematurely exiting from your PHP code.
You should not see any PHP code displayed in your browser…

Sorted. Run it on the install with PHP and BAM!! it worked. I hope its not deriving anything it shouldn’t on the server, my tech will kill me if it is…
Thanks

Does the error display a line number? Can you please post the what the error says, I’ll look into it

Ah… I’m assuming it was the simple xml error. Glad you found the issue… not to everyone else, upgrade your PHP to 5.

Not working getting this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /nfs/c01/h08/mnt/8369/domains/xxxxxxx.com/html/delete_following.php on line 39

Weird. I managed to get the script working last time. Now I cant… Have tried it on my development environment and a number of php equipt servers.
The form appears, but its covered in php error gobble-de-gook. Shall I post it?
Thanks

Cheers. Yea, I know they’re moving – what a shame. Terribly protectionistic.

I have tried it on the server we run a number of wordpress installs on. As well as a local development server. Neither worked.. Its odd, as it worked perfectly last time I used it… I dont think anything has been configured particularly diferently.
I will ask the chap who manages the servers, he may know. I will let you know.
Cheers

Cant see anything glaringly wrong with your code hehe.

Hi Matt. I never got your script to work again
This is stink, cos it is / was a good script for me.
I stayed up till silly hours last friday programming a macros to do it instead!! It works really well, let me know by email if you want it for the site, I will happily take a bit of kudos (and 4 hours of my life back).

I’m interested in checking out the macro… Does it refresh a browser page??? that’s cool because the API is easily traceable by Twitter
