Not able to post to my own twitter account using PHP OAuth and Abraham TwitterOAuth

[TonyFriz]

Can’t get oAuth to work to post messages to my own twitter account. I’ve set up my application, requested Read & write permissions, popped in all the correct values, and nothing is being posted to my twitter account… Here’s my code:

<?PHP
require_once ‘twitteroauth.php’;

define(“CONSUMER_KEY”, “Aof0w***…”);
define(“CONSUMER_SECRET”, “qtAHOMgeS***…”);
define(“OAUTH_TOKEN”, “731432660-X9kaxI91***…”);
define(“OAUTH_SECRET”, “66I6YjxsL1bDw4***…”);

$connection = new TwitterOAuth(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET, OAUTH_TOKEN, OAUTH_SECRET);
$content = $connection->get(‘account/verify_credentials’);

$connection->post(‘statuses/update’, array(‘status’ => ‘test’));

?>

For anyone else having this issue, here’s the answer:

Yeah, I figured out the problem. After requesting Read & Write permissions, you have to RECREATE your access tokens to reflect the new permissions. Once I popped in the new access tokens, everything worked fine. Thanks!

Can you explain to me what files: ‘account/verify_credentials’ and ‘statuses/update’ point to? Are these in your site directory?

Hey, I’m trying to do the same, but it doesn’t work. My code looks pretty much the same, I checked that the app has Read & Write access to the account, and copied the keys and everything.
Not tweeting. The script returns true though.

Same problem here, everything looks fine, but still not able to tweet. Please suggest a solution.

There are two things here that can stop a tweet.

1. You are probably aware of this - but if you try to send the same information in a tweet - ie, if you keep sending
   "test" Then it will be blocked. you may have sent the first one, but any the same in a given period will be blocked.

2. It could be an OAuth problem to do with the transition to 1.1. You need to trace each step, that is, have some code that displays what each step does as its doing it.
   Have debugging code that shows what is being returned from each step, including the ‘send tweet’ - which is the one you may be having trouble with. If the tweet is successful, you need to trap that return message.
   If SUCCESS return SuccessCode
   if FAIL return FailCode

I’m not familiar with PHP in this area - I use Actions Script 3, but the principal remains the same.

If you watch what each step of the process does, you will see what the Twitter interface is returning to you. and why.

These are the twitter calls, and the full URL is probably in the requireonce() files.
In NON OAuth libraries, usually preceeded now by

https://api.twitter.com/1.1


eg:
urlRequest.url = _serviceHost+request;
var signedData:String = _oAuth.getSignedRequest(urlRequest.method, “https://api.twitter.com/1.1”+request, urlRequest.data as URLVariables);
urlRequest.data = new URLVariables(signedData);
return urlRequest;
