Having no ids of uploaded images in PHP

[bonjorik]

Hi.I use the PHP SDK by j7mbo to update status with images.
First I send some images to the https://upload.twitter.com/1.1/media/upload.json and get seems to be normal response. I take each id to the array $ids and put them separated by comma to the array $parameters:

$parameters['media_ids'] = implode(',', $ids);

So, all array is:

array('status' => 'TEXT OF STATUS', 'media_ids' => '2423423423434234,34343434343434');

After sending the request to the https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json I get request like I never added images ids (have no extended_entities).

The fulll code looks like:

$twitter = new TwitterAPIExchange($settings);
$images = array('/path/to/pic1', '/path/to/pic2'); 
if(!empty($images)){
        $url = 'https://upload.twitter.com/1.1/media/upload.json';$method='POST';

       
        foreach($images as $img){
            if(!is_file($img))
                continue;
            
            $file2upload = array('media' => "@$img");


            
            $action = $twitter->buildOauth($url, $method)->setPostfields($file2upload)->performRequest();
            $return['images'][] = $answer = json_decode($action);
            if(!is_null($answer) and !isset($answer->error)){
                $ids[] = $answer->media_id_string;
            }
        }

    }
$url = 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json';

    $parameters = array(
        'status' => $text,
    );

    switch(count($ids)){
        case 0:
            break;
        case 1:
            $parameters['trim_user'] = 1;$parameters['media_ids'] = $ids[0];break;
        default:
            $parameters['trim_user'] = 1;$parameters['media_ids'] = implode(',', $ids);break;
    }

    $tweetObj = new TwitterAPIExchange($settings);

    $response = $tweetObj->buildOauth($url, $method)->setPostfields($parameters)->performRequest();

    $return['tweet'] = json_decode($response);
    $return['parameters'] = $tweetObj->getPostfields();

In the $return I have responses of each image uploading then resonse of the status updating. After that becomes the postfields that I send with new tweet.

Here the full return:

Sorry for my English and Thank You

[sforsendil]

@bonjorik i am also facing the same issue, may i know did you got solution for your issue?

Thanks

[sforsendil]

awaiting for your response.

[bonjorik]

Have no solution for now. I’m waiting 4 some Twitter masta)

[sforsendil]

I think there is a bug in the API, finally i went to single photo upload approach https://dev.twitter.com/rest/public/uploading-media

            $image = "http://imagepath/image.jpg";

            $settings = array(
                'oauth_access_token' => $twitterUserToken,
                'oauth_access_token_secret' => $twitterUserSecret,
                'consumer_key' => $consumer_key,
                'consumer_secret' => $consumer_secret
            );

            $twitter = new TwitterAPIExchange($settings);
            $urlimage = 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update_with_media.json';$method='POST';
            $file2upload = array('media' => file_get_contents($image), 'status' => $twitterMessage);
            $action = $twitter->buildOauth($urlimage, $method)->setPostfields($file2upload)->performRequest();
            return json_decode($action);

this is working fine, hope this helps someone.

[bonjorik]

yeah, I’ve tried to use this api and it works. thank you!

So, if there’re some news when will multiple uploading work?

[sforsendil]

no idea, we have to wait Twitter masters to respond

[andypiper]

Have you raised this issue with the creator of the PHP library? Is this the only library that is affected?

Can you provide a reproducible example demonstrating that the multiple upload API is not working? I see many tweets that have multiple images attached.

[kithaitaa]

I had the same issue with the “j7mbo” Twitter-Api, the “media_ids” didn’t work.
Uploading Media Multiple Photos works fine with https://github.com/jublonet/codebird-php.

[sforsendil]

@kithaitaa can you give us the sample working code here

[kithaitaa]

There is a sample code on the Codebird Github page Usage examples -> Uploading media to Twitter

[socialpostdemo]

@sforsendil i am using code which you given above

    $image = "http://www.fullwallpaper.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Emotional-wallpapers-with-wording-in-it-2.jpg";
    $twitteroauth = new TwitterOAuth(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET, $_SESSION['TWITTER_token'], $_SESSION['TWITTER_token_secret']);
    $urlimage = 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update_with_media.json';
$method='POST';
    $file2upload = array('media' => file_get_contents($image), 'status' => $message);
    $action = $twitteroauth->buildOauth($urlimage, $method)->setPostfields($file2upload)->performRequest();
    print_r(json_decode($action));

…It shows error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method TwitterOAuth::buildOauth() in D:\xamp\htdocs\socialposting\profile\twitterpostingDONE\indexTW.php on line 37

can you please tell why this error come.?

[socialpostdemo]

how can you send some images to the https://upload.twitter.com/1.1/media/upload.json .Please give some reference code if you have.Thanks

[sforsendil]

https://github.com/J7mbo/twitter-api-php/blob/master/TwitterAPIExchange.php use this lib with my code

[socialpostdemo]

sir i used your code and lib but it shows :
file_get_contents() expects parameter 1 to be a valid path, string given in D:\xamp\htdocs\socialposting\profile\twitter-api\twitter-api-php-master\index.php on line 19

Code :

echo $twitterMessage="dgaaaaaaaaaaaaf";
echo  $image = file_get_contents("http://www.letsintern.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/google-office-design.jpeg");

            $twitter = new TwitterAPIExchange($settings);
            $urlimage = 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update_with_media.json';$method='POST';
            $file2upload = array('media' =>$image, 'status' => $twitterMessage);
            $action = $twitter->buildOauth($urlimage, $method)->setPostfields($file2upload)->performRequest();
			print_r( $action);
            return json_decode($action);
