PHP script works on local MAMP server but not IIS 8 server

Question

I have a PHP script that displays Tweets embedded in a site I built out on my local machine. When I uploaded the site to my IIS 8.0 server, the PHP script no longer works and I receive this error:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\i360_new\footer.php on line 76

The script is:

<?php
    ini_set('display_errors', 1);
    require_once('TwitterAPIExchange.php');

    /** Set access tokens here - see: https://dev.twitter.com/apps/ **/
    $settings = array(
        'oauth_access_token' => "xxxxx",
        'oauth_access_token_secret' => "xxxxx",
        'consumer_key' => "xxxxx",
        'consumer_secret' => "xxxxx"
    );


    /** Perform a GET request and echo the response **/
    /** Note: Set the GET field BEFORE calling buildOauth(); **/
    $url = "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json";
    $getfield = '?screen_name=interactive360&count=1';
    $requestMethod = 'GET';
    $twitter = new TwitterAPIExchange($settings);
    $string = json_decode($twitter->setGetfield($getfield)
    ->buildOauth($url, $requestMethod)
    ->performRequest(),$assoc = TRUE);
    foreach($string as $items)
        {
            echo $items['text']."<br />";
        }
?>

I thought it might be a PHP version issue but my local machine is running 5.4.10 and my server is running 5.4.14.

Which line is line 76? "Warning" is not an error -- "warning" can often be completely ignored. Put a "print_r($string)" lin in just before the foreach() to see what is actually in that sucker — JDS, Sep 30 '13 at 14:45
$string is actually returning empty which is causing the error. I don't know why it's returning empty though. — user715564, Sep 30 '13 at 16:08

Did you compare both servers phpinfo()? While running in almost the same environment each server can work differently depending on which modules are installed.

The only comparison I did was the version number. Is there something else I should specifically be looking for? They also both have JSON 1.2.1 enabled. – user715564 Sep 30 '13 at 14:33

You might want to make sure that the $string isn't empty. I believe a ForEach will throw this error if you provide a string that is empty. It looks like the string depends on TwitterAPIExchange.php, I see the 'Require Once', but ensure it's configured correctly.

Actually, it looks like you are correct. The $string variable is returning empty. I looked through TwitterAPIExchange.php and the only thing that I noticed might be the problem is that is uses CURL. My IIS server has CURL enabled though. – user715564 Sep 30 '13 at 14:50

Could this possibly have something to do with user permissions on the IIS side? – user715564 Sep 30 '13 at 15:11
Have you checked to see what $twitter has in it? I'm assuming that $settings hasn't changed since you copied it over to production, but might wanna check that as well. – Noobixide Sep 30 '13 at 15:43
Ok so when I echo $twitter I get this error: Catchable fatal error: Object of class TwitterAPIExchange could not be converted to string in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\i360_new\footer.php on line 80 – user715564 Sep 30 '13 at 15:51

Don't do "echo" do "print_r( $twitter );" -- you can't "echo" an Object – JDS Sep 30 '13 at 16:15

It turns out this was an SSL/CURL issue. In the TwitterAPIExchange.php file, I had to add these two lines to the CURL options array:

CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false,
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST => false
