不能在Laravel 4中使用Abraham Williams Twitter库

I am trying to create a PHP application where I use the Twitter PHP library by Abraham Williams. I am using Laravel 4 framework.

But whenever I try to create the class, the framework is giving me an error saying "Cannot redeclare class OAuthSignatureMethod_HMAC_SHA1". So far I have tried to change the name of the class and it didn't work. I have searched it in the web also. Here is my code.

$param = array(
    'oauth_token' => 'xxxx',
    'oauth_token_secret' => 'xxxx'
);
$twitter = new Twitter($param);
$twitter = $twitter->getConnection();

The class OAuthSignatureMethod_HMAC_SHA1 already exists somewhere else in your project, and it can't be declared twice. Perhaps you have something else which also uses OAuth?

You could namespace it, but it seems easier to just pull in any package that uses the library with Composer. Take a look at Packagist and read the documentation of the packages to decide which one is best for you.

After all, why reinvent the wheel when somebody else already did the hard and boring parts for you? :)

Open OAuth.php

Remove this condition

if (!class_exists('OAuthException')) {
    class OAuthException extends Exception {
        // pass
    }
}
