Writing library for Twitter, where am I going wrong?

I'm writing a library to connect to Twitter that uses Requests for PHP. I'm not sure, but I don't think that I'm building the OAuth correctly because I can't authenticate. I've double-checked it, and checked it against another existing library but still can't seem to get it right.

The code is here.

The idea is you instantiate the service, send it config parameters, and before it does the request, it generates the 'Authorization: OAuth xxx' header and adds it to said request.

$twitter = array(
    'consumer_key'        => '',
    'consumer_secret'     => '',
    'access_token'        => '',
    'access_token_secret' => '',
    'screen_name'         => '_hassankhan',
    'api_url'             => 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/'
);

$service = new OAuth1AService('Twitter', $twitter['api_url']);
$service->config($twitter);
$service->doGet(
    'statuses/user_timeline.json',
    array(
        'screen_name'      => '_hassankhan',
        'include_entities' => 'true'
    ),
    array(),
    'raw'
);
print($service->getResult());

I would really recommend you to use one of the already made libraries like tmhOAuth which make it really easy to interact with the twitter api.

As for your problem, seems you don't sign your request correctly. At least I could not easily find out if you include all request parameters to create the signature.

The oauth_signature parameter contains a value which is generated by running all of the other request parameters and two secret values through a signing algorithm.

Creating the signature is described in this document: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/auth/creating-signature .
