With the twitter API you can only get up to 200 posts per page. You would have to add a &page=x to get the tweets from timeline (limit of 3200 posts)

API documentation: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/get/statuses/user_timeline

$getfield = '?screen_name='.$sc_name.'&exclude_replies=true&include_rts=true&contributor_details=false&page=1';

use page=2 for next page with 200 more tweets :

$getfield = '?screen_name='.$sc_name.'&exclude_replies=true&include_rts=true&contributor_details=false&page=2';

you can also use for loop to get all the tweet from the timeline. You would be able to loop 16 times only hence you get could 3200 tweets (Maximum).

Hope this help.
