before you redirect the user, you need to POST to twitter to get an oauth request token.

Twitter returns a userID and a screen name. You’d typically store them in the session.

You might be interested in [Andy Smith’s OAuth class](http://oauth.googlecode.com/svn/code/php/). I’ve never done this myself, but [this seems to be a good tutorial](http://www.jondev.net/articles/Using_OAuth_with_Twitter_-_PHP_Example).
