    I'm trying to retweet with the twitter api: http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method:-statuses-retweet

    But I want to do the following command line as curl in php:

    curl -u user:password -X POST http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/retweet/12345.xml
    Code (markup):
    At the moment I have the following which isn't working?

    
$curl = curl_init("http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/retweet/12345.xml");
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "username:password");
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10);

$xml = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl); 

echo $xml;
    PHP:
    What am I doing wrong?
