Twitter with PHP and image working once only

bld_dk · 2012-02-22T17:05:40.000Z

I used this PHP to tweet a message and attached a picture

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);

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

$image = '1329929312.jpg';
 
$code = $tmhOAuth->request('POST', 'https://upload.twitter.com/1/statuses/update_with_media.json',
  array(
    'media[]'  => "@{$image}",
	"status"   => "Is this working now?"
  ),
  true, // use auth
  true  // multipart
);
 
if ($code == 200) {
  tmhUtilities::pr(json_decode($tmhOAuth->response['response']));
} else {
  tmhUtilities::pr($tmhOAuth->response['response']);
}
?>

But after tweeting once successfully, with image and message all as expected, it stopped working again.

When I try now there are no response at all that I can look at and debug from, and I don’t think I have changed anything in the php since it worked.
Anyone here able to see what went wrong?

Tried to grab the code from this too https://dev.twitter.com/discussions/1059 does not work either, downloaded everything from GIT again to make sure it was unchanged too, still no luck.

Tried new keys, tried to create a new app, nothing… Difficult to debug on when getting no replies.

Are you trying to POST the same status and image each time? Duplicate attempts should be avoided. Our API will always give you a response of some kind – at least a status code with a message – you should look for this to give more of a hint as to what is amiss.

bld_dk · 2012-02-22T20:47:00.000Z

No, it is a different status, and a different image. Both image and image name are different too.

Tried a few different php libraries now.

GitHub

abraham/twitteroauth

twitteroauth - The most popular PHP library for use with the Twitter OAuth REST API.

This one tells me “Could not connect to Twitter. Refresh the page or try again later.” but I don’t see any problems when trying to access the same url’s it is using, so not sure if it just just the library or something else that is wrong.

Problem found! Was the certificate file that for some unknown reason got corrupted, file moved, problem solved.

Glad you got it figured out.

I’m already trying for hours to fix this problem and still don’t found an answer the script is just giving no respons at all


<?php

require 'tmhOAuth.php';
require 'tmhUtilities.php';
$tmhOAuth = new tmhOAuth(array(
  'consumer_key'    => '',
  'consumer_secret' => '',
  'user_token'      => '',
  'user_secret'     => '',
)); 
 
// we're using a hardcoded image path here. You can easily replace this with an uploaded image-see images.php example)
// 'image = "@{$_FILES['image']['tmp_name']};type={$_FILES['image']['type']};filename={$_FILES['image']['name']}",
  
$image = './dickvandyke.jpg';
 
$code = $tmhOAuth->request('POST', 'https://upload.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update_with_media.json',
  array(
    'media[]'  => "@{$image}",
    'status'   => "Don't slip up" // Don't give up..
  ),
  true, // use auth
  true  // multipart
);
 
if ($code == 200) {
  tmhUtilities::pr(json_decode($tmhOAuth->response['response']));
} else {
  tmhUtilities::pr($tmhOAuth->response['response']);
}

?>

The domain name for statuses/update_with_media.json changed to api.twitter.com (instead of upload.twitter.com) a number of months ago – it might be why you’re having trouble.
