I have a question about the media[] param for the update_with_media endpoint. This code works perfectly, using this library https://github.com/abraham/twitteroauth
$oauth_token='******************';
$oauth_token_secret='******************';
$consumer_key='******************';
$consumer_secret='******************';
$tmhOAuth = new tmhOAuth(array(
'consumer_key' => $consumer_key,
'consumer_secret' => $consumer_secret,
'user_token' => $oauth_token,
'user_secret' => $oauth_token_secret,
));
$image = "{$_FILES['photoimg']['tmp_name']};type={$_FILES['photoimg']['type']};filename={$_FILES['photoimg']['name']}";
$code = $tmhOAuth->request('POST', 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update_with_media.json',
array(
'media[]' => "@{$image}",
'status' => " " . $status //A space is needed because twitter b0rks if first char is an @
),
true, // use auth
true // multipart
);
if ($code == 200) {
$content = "<p>Upload success. Image posted to Twitter.</p>";
} else {
$content = "Damn! Something went wrong. Sorry :-("
."<br /> code=" . $code
."<br /> status=" . $status
."<br /> image=" . $image
."<br /> response=<pre>"
. print_r($tmhOAuth->response['response'], TRUE)
. "</pre><br /> info=<pre>"
. print_r($tmhOAuth->response['info'], TRUE)
. "</pre><br /> code=<pre>"
. print_r($tmhOAuth->response['code'], TRUE) . "</pre>";
}
echo $content;
However, the image I want to upload is not coming from a form, it is coming from my database. What is the proper format for the media[] attribute if I want to upload a photo via a link, such as http://mysite.com/image/img.png, or is there another way to properly do this? I’ve tried just the link in the code above and have gotten an error. I also tried
$image=@{http://mysite.com/image/img.png};type={image/png};filename={http://mysite.com/image/img.png}
and variations, and have gotten 403 errors. Anyone know the right way?
