Post to Twitter from my website with PHP

I was looking at the Twitter API but I could not manage how can I automatically post to my twitter.

I want to visit a page on my website, which then posts the timestamp on my Twitter for example.

This code worked once, but after that, no more tweets are generated:

<?php
$consumerKey    = 'myKey';
$consumerSecret = 'myConsumerKey';
$oAuthToken     = 'theToken';
$oAuthSecret    = 'theSecret';

require_once('twitteroauth.php');

// create a new instance
$tweet = new TwitterOAuth($consumerKey, $consumerSecret, $oAuthToken, $oAuthSecret);

//send a tweet
$tweet->post('statuses/update', array('status' => 'My awesome timestamp msg'));

?>

Is there any reason that it worked once?

The new Twitter api, makes this somewhat easy. Twitter provides a page of Twitter buttons specifically designed to place on your webpage.

If you're attempting to post the same message again, Twitter detects when your tweet is identical to the previous one and rejects it.
