Update twitter status with php without cUrl - NOcURL

One of the reasons Twitter is so popular, is its API that allows you to do anything. Here’s how you can tweet without using cURL with PHP.
We have two options-

With stream context
Php function stream_context_create has the magic. It creates and returns a stream context with any options passed.
