掌握最新的Twitter结果

Question

Hi I made a simple script that inserts the most recent id of a twitter post into a textfile, which then compares it too the last 100 tweets so it only retreieves the latest ones.

I have noticed that sometimes when i run this script it does not break the loop and just displays all of the old tweets again.

Is their a better approach to such a problem?

require_once("twitteroauth/twitteroauth.php"); //Path to twitteroauth library

function getConnectionWithAccessToken($cons_key, $cons_secret, $oauth_token, $oauth_token_secret) {
  $connection = new TwitterOAuth($cons_key, $cons_secret, $oauth_token, $oauth_token_secret);
  return $connection;
}

$connection = getConnectionWithAccessToken($consumerkey, $consumersecret, $accesstoken, $accesstokensecret);


$json= $connection->get("https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json?q=%23Drake&count=100");

$newcount=0;    
$flag;

$id = array();
$since_filename = 'twitter/since_filename.txt';
$count_filename = 'twitter/count_filename.txt';


$since_id = file_get_contents($since_filename);

foreach($json->statuses as $tweet)
{
  $text = $tweet->text; 
  $test = $tweet->id_str;
  $id[] =  $test;


  if($test==$since_id)
  {
    break;
  }
  else
    {
        echo "false";
    }

echo $text;

  $newcount++;
}

$current = $id[0];
// Write the contents back to the file
file_put_contents($since_filename, $current);

$existingcount = file_get_contents($count_filename);
file_put_contents($count_filename, ($newcount + $existingcount));

Twitter's search API allows you to pass a 'since_id'

since_id - Returns results with an ID greater than (that is, more recent than) the specified ID. There are limits to the number of Tweets which can be accessed through the API. If the limit of Tweets has occured since the since_id, the since_id will be forced to the oldest ID available.

$json= $connection->get("https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json?q=%23Drake&since_id=$since_id&count=100");
