Since there is no page system in twitter 's API, to go throught timelines, you must use the "max_id" parameter.

Here is an helpful link that explains how to work with timelines with nice illustrations: https://dev.twitter.com/rest/public/timelines.

Edit: here is how you do it.

"To use max_id correctly, an application’s first request to a timeline endpoint should only specify a count."

Make your request "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=".$twitteruser.'&count=500 (you can put 200).

Then when you get all your data, " keep track of the lowest ID received" and use it as parameter (the same way you do for the count) for your next request. it will give you the 200 next posts with a lower id than the one you specified. Do it again until you reach the end.
