Tweet image is not working for me

[silvestret]

function post_tweet($tweet_text,$image) {
    require_once('tmhoauth/tmhOAuth.php');
    require_once('tmhoauth/tmhUtilities.php');

    $connection = new tmhOAuth(array(
        'consumer_key' => 'CODE',
        'consumer_secret' => 'CODE',
        'user_token' => 'CODE',
        'user_secret' => 'CODE'
    )); 

    // Make the API call

    $image = 'imagenes/producto/'.$image;

    $code = $connection->request(
                        'POST',                         
                        'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update_with_media.json',

// 'https://upload.twitter.com/1/statuses/update_with_media.json',
array(
'media[]' => "@{$image}",
'status' => $tweet_text
),
true, // use auth
true // multipart
);

    echo $connection->response['raw'];

    if($code == 200) {
        return tmhUtilities::pr(json_decode($connection->response['response']));
    } else {
        return tmhUtilities::pr($connection->response['response']);
    }



    //return $connection->response['response'];
}

I dont know if it is related with @ symbol but i got the next error
{"errors":[{"code":189,"message":"Error creating status"}]}

Thanks in advance

[themattharris]

it looks like you haven't defined $tweet_text which means you are trying to tweet with no text. try defining $tweet_text with something you want to post with the Tweet and try again.

[silvestret]

$tweet_text is defined like a parameter in the function

function post_tweet($tweet_text,$image) {

i have tried of two ways:

'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update_with_media.json',
'https://upload.twitter.com/1/statuses/update_with_media.json',

version 1.1 and version 1 really dont know which the problem is, but is not possible upload an image for me :(

[oosswwaalldd]

I think the problem is in the second parameter in the request done of the $connection object:

'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update_with_media.json',

You must change it to:

'1.1/statuses/update_with_media.json',

Hope That works

[silvestret]

no oosswaaaldd, i think we have to use the complete url to do the request to twiiter api not a relative.

[mwilber]

I'm running into the same issue. v1 of the api (https://upload.twitter.com/1/statuses/update_with_media.json) but v1.1 (https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update_with_media.json) fails with code 0.

[mwilber]

Disregard my last comment. The issue was unrelated to the upload url. The error came from a leading @ sign in the status message. In this case my script would tweet the photo to a specific user "@greenzeta here's your photo...". If I modify the message so the @ sign is not leading, "Here's your photo @greenzeta ..." it works. I haven't looked any more deeply than this so I don't know if the issue is with tmhOAuth or twitter itself.

[themattharris]

@mwilber: the issue you had is discussed in issue #46.

[tharrosinfo]

I have been trying to get the update_with_media working for me but did not succeed. I just tried various formats with $image like with and without the {} with and without the @ sign, between " " and between ' ', I tried with status first and then media, and with media first then status, all gave the same response an error occurs updating the status.
I am running Apache with PHP 5.2 on WinXP. I tried 15, 16 and 17 october to run the code.

Just to be clear the following code I tried first and it works, just like it works with OAuth and Twitteroauth for php:

require_once($includepath.'tmhOAuth.php');
require_once($includepath.'tmhUtilities.php');
$connection = new tmhOAuth(array(
'consumer_key' => OAUTH_CONSUMER_KEY,
'consumer_secret' => OAUTH_CONSUMER_SECRET,
'user_token' => OAUTH_TOKEN_KEY,
'user_secret' => OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET,
));

$code = $connection->request('POST', 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json',
array(
'status' => "'".$twitmsg."'"
),
true, // use auth
false // multipart
);

var_dump($connection->response);

Then I tried this code and get a Forbidden 403 response:

$image = 'recept001.jpg';

require_once($includepath.'tmhOAuth.php');
require_once($includepath.'tmhUtilities.php');
$connection = new tmhOAuth(array(
'consumer_key' => OAUTH_CONSUMER_KEY,
'consumer_secret' => OAUTH_CONSUMER_SECRET,
'user_token' => OAUTH_TOKEN_KEY,
'user_secret' => OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET,
));

$code = $connection->request('POST', 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update_with_media.json',   //_with_media
    array(
            'media[]'  => " @{$image}" ,  // note the space before the @ sign
        'status'   => ' upload image ' 
    ),
    true, // use auth
    true  // multipart
);

var_dump($connection->response);

Response (I removed codes and unnecessary entries):

I guess I may have resolved it.

Instead of referencing the filename in $image it should hold the binary data

so I added:

$filename = "recept001.jpg";
$handle = fopen($filename, "rb");
$image = fread($handle, filesize($filename));
fclose($handle);

then

'media[]' => "{$image};type=image/jpeg;filename={$filename}" ,

does the trick and the tweet is posted with an image.

[tsarma]

In my case its still not working, even when I made the $image as binary data as mentioned above. I get response 0!!!
EDITED:
It works! my request url parameter was written wrong (../1/statuses/up.. instead of ../1.1/statuses/up.. )!! . And it works by the way without needing to fopen the image file. Just the right path to the image from the server root and it tweets.

[tharrosinfo]

add

var_dump($connection->response);

$connection stands for the variable declared with new tmhOAuth

then remove the personal info (tokens) and post the code and the result for review for others to help you

[themattharris]

glad you got this fixed up and working.
and thanks to everyone else on this issue that helped along the way!

[formariz]

Guys, the exemple don't work for me.
Please, help me.

My code PHP

require '../tmhOAuth.php';
require '../tmhUtilities.php';
$tmhOAuth = new tmhOAuth(array(
  'consumer_key'    => '***************',
  'consumer_secret' => '***************',
  'user_token'      => '***************',
  'user_secret'     => '***************',
));

$image = 'sol.jpg';

$code = $tmhOAuth->request(
  'POST',
  'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update_with_media.json',
  array(
    'media[]'  => "@{$image};type=image/jpeg;filename={$image}",
    'status'   => 'Picture time'
  ),
  true,
  true
);

var_dump($tmhOAuth->response);

if ($code == 200) {
  tmhUtilities::pr(json_decode($tmhOAuth->response['response']));
} else {
  tmhUtilities::pr($tmhOAuth->response['response']);
}

And response

array(6) {
    ["raw"]=> string(0) ""
    ["code"]=> int(0)
    ["response"]=> bool(false)
    ["info"]=> array(22) {

    }
    ["error"]=> string(29) "couldn't open file "sol.jpg" "
    ["errno"]=> int(26)
}

Any idea?

[tharrosinfo]

Is your $image the name of the image file or the binary data of the file? Because it needs to be the binary data, see above:

$filename = "recept001.jpg";
$handle = fopen($filename, "rb");
$image = fread($handle, filesize($filename));
fclose($handle);

[formariz]

i change my code:

$filename = "sol.jpg";
$handle = fopen($filename, "rb");
$image = fread($handle, filesize($filename));
fclose($handle);

$code = $tmhOAuth->request(
    'POST',
    'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update_with_media.json',
    array(
        'media[]'  => "@{$image};type=image/jpeg;filename={$filename}",
        'status'   => 'Picture time',
      ),
      true, // use auth
      true  // multipart
);

Response:

array(6) {
    ["raw"]=> string(0) "" 
    ["code"]=> int(0) 
    ["response"]=> bool(false) 
    ["info"]=> array(22) { 
        ["url"]=> string(59) "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update_with_media.json"

@formariz try disabling SSL_VERIFYPEER

$connection = new tmhOAuth(array(
    'consumer_key'          => '(hidden)',
    'consumer_secret'       => '(hidden)',
    'user_token'            => '(hidden)',
    'user_secret'           => '(hidden)',
    'curl_ssl_verifypeer'   => false // <- This guy
));

[themattharris]

@formariz you should be setting $image to the path to the file you wish to send as the photo - not the binary data contained within the file. here's an example:

let's say your file sol.jpg is in the same folder as your PHP code. in this example do this:

$image_path = dirname(__FILE__) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'sol.jpg';
$name  = basename($image_path);

$code = $tmhOAuth->request(
    'POST',
    $tmhOAuth->url('1.1/statuses/update_with_media'),
    array(
        'media[]'  => "@{$image_path};type=image/jpeg;filename={$name}",
        'status'   => 'Picture time',
      ),
      true, // use auth
      true  // multipart
);

@carlosacabrera please don't change curl_ssl_verifypeer - for your peace of mind and that of your users it's very important the value stays as true - otherwise the SSL certificate for api.twitter.com won't be verified with the known root certificates.

[formariz]

Thank you @themattharris ... Worked perfectly for me.
