Answer 1

The accepted answer uses a depreciated API endpoint https://dev.twitter.com/rest/reference/post/statuses/update_with_media

Here is a working solution:

// send image to Twitter first
$url = 'https://upload.twitter.com/1.1/media/upload.json';
$requestMethod = 'POST';

$image = 'full/path/to/image.jpg';

$postfields = array(
  'media_data' => base64_encode(file_get_contents($image))
);

$response = $twitter->buildOauth($url, $requestMethod)
  ->setPostfields($postfields)
  ->performRequest();

// get the media_id from the API return
$media_id = json_decode($response)->media_id;

// then send the Tweet along with the media ID
$url = 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json';
$requestMethod = 'POST';

$postfields = array(
  'status' => 'My amazing tweet'
  'media_ids' => $media_id,
);

$response = $twitter->buildOauth($url, $requestMethod)
  ->setPostfields($postfields)
  ->performRequest();
