I have posted a question on Stackoverflow.com:

Request a User’s Email Address in Twitter App with PHP

I know that email is disabled, but the twitter add my application to the whitelist, so i think that now i can get the email of a user.

If your app is whitelisted, there is information on this in the documentation for GET account/verify_credentials on the parameters to use.

Please help.

Can you share any example of the code you’re using? Have you regenerated your tokens? (please do not share your tokens on the forum).

Hi,

I have regenerated the key and secret twice and nothing.

My code, please check it:

require ("plugins/twitter/vendor/autoload.php");
use Abraham\TwitterOAuth\TwitterOAuth;

$connection = new TwitterOAuth($CONSUMER_KEY, $CONSUMER_SECRET);
$request_token = $connection->oauth("oauth/request_token", [ 'oauth_callback' => $CALLBACK_URL ]);

	if($request_token['oauth_callback_confirmed'] == true){
		$_SESSION['twitterLoginFlow']['token'] = $request_token['oauth_token'];
		$_SESSION['twitterLoginFlow']['secret'] = $request_token['oauth_token_secret'];
		$url = $connection->url("oauth/authorize", ["oauth_token" => $request_token['oauth_token']]);
		$myOBJ->exitRedir($url);
	}

CALLBACK_FILE:

session_start();

require ("my/config-file.php");
require ("my/class.myobj.php");
require ("plugins/twitter/vendor/autoload.php");
use Abraham\TwitterOAuth\TwitterOAuth;

$myOBJ = new myOBJ($pdo);
$myOBJ->Config = $Config;

$twitterData = $_SESSION['twitterLoginFlow'];

$oauth_token = isset($_GET['oauth_token'])?$_GET['oauth_token']:NULL;
$oauth_verifier = isset($_GET['oauth_verifier'])?$_GET['oauth_verifier']:NULL;

if($oauth_token != $twitterData['token']){
	$_SESSION['invalidFlow'] = 1;
	$myOBJ->exitRedir($EXIT_URL);
}

$connection = new TwitterOAuth($CONSUMER_KEY, $CONSUMER_SECRET, $twitterData['token'], $twitterData['secret']);
$accessData = $connection->oauth("oauth/access_token", ["oauth_verifier" => $oauth_verifier]);

$userConnection = new TwitterOAuth($CONSUMER_KEY, $CONSUMER_SECRET, $accessData['oauth_token'], $accessData['oauth_token_secret']);
$userData = $userConnection->get("account/verify_credentials", array('include_email' => 'true'));
/*
I already have tested so:
  $userData = $userConnection->get("account/verify_credentials", array('include_email' => true));
  and...
  $userData = $userConnection->get("account/verify_credentials", array('include_email' => 1));
*/

$myOBJ->printArray($userData); exit;
