Thanks!       ^ This was the URL part that I was missing. I didn't  
know where the callback should return to. I got the access to the  
account working after I fixed this.

Some notes from the process:

  - I have been using the HttpClient based on fopen(). This triggered  
a WSOD when I used invalid customer key/secret credentials. I also got  
a WSOD when the callback was executed. The twitter profile information  
got saved though and I was able to access the account.

  - When I was searching for the callback endpoint I read somewhere  
that it should be possible to send the callback URL together with the  
token URL. Is that correct? If so, could it be used to automatically  
provide the callback URL to twitter?

And last but not least the "Tweet" button does nothing at the moment  
:) But that is a minor issue I still have to look into...

Thanks for your help!

Cheers,

Gunnar
