$twitter_api_url = "http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml";
$twitter_data = "status=hi guys";
$twitter_user = "username";
$twitter_password = "password";
$ch = curl_init($twitter_api_url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $twitter_data);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "{$twitter_user}:{$twitter_password}");
$twitter_data = curl_exec($ch);
$httpcode = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
curl_close($ch);
//print_r($httpcode);
if ($httpcode != 200) {
echo "Don't Panic! Something went wrong, and the tweet wasn't posted correctly.";
}
else
{
echo 'Congrats it is succesfully posted';
}

For everyone trying this now: Twitter needs another method of authentication (OAuth), so this code will not work anymore

Yeah, Twitter made it super complicated to do something that should be so easy. Sometimes I have to give a big thumbs down to following the "crowd" for authentication… Hopefully when I get some free time I'll update this post with a link to a new tutorial and sample code for using OAuth.

Unfortunately in august the easy authentication for Twitter ended.
Now they wrote pages on pages of complicated API documentation referring to itself all the time and never actually clarifying how to send a simple tweet.
It's now using 'OAuth' and i've never been violent but they'ld better not come near me now.

In short: the example script will not work due to changes at Twitter and basically: forget it.
