I'm looking to implement a system for tweeting directly from my site backend, which is written in PHP 5. I have a script from the internet that I can adapt, but I'm concerned that when Twitter switches to Oauth only, I'll be out in the cold.

I use the twitteroauth library: http://github.com/abraham/twitteroauth - "The first PHP Library to support OAuth for Twitter's REST API". Works great.
You can register a Twitter application here: http:// dev.twitter.com/apps/new
Once you register a Twitter app you'll get an app-specific consumer key/token and secret, which you can then use with the twitteroauth library to access the Twitter API.
Best place to start with right at the source. http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Getting-Started
