Retrieving direct messages and replies

[james...@googlemail.com]

I'm building a little app that people can tweet at and it will add
that info to a DB and index.

It's currently listening to replies, but I'd like to add the ability
to direct message it as well.

I know I can just change getReplies to getMessages but if I want to
get both, does anyone have any advice? (I'm learning php as I go, so I
might be missing something simple.)

Is there a simple way to merge the two? Should I do both and just
append one response to the other? I think both use the same message
ID, so this would work - I think. Clunky though.

All advice greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

James

Have you gotten this to work, using getMessages()?

I'm planning to do something similar for a private version of
stikkit.com for myself, trying to learn the twitter api as I go along.
