Post status + image with TwitterAPIExchange on Twitter

Question

I\'ve got the following working code, the code simply posts a status and an image om my twitter page.

       require_once(\'TwitterAPIExchange.php\');

        $         


        

Answer 1

It was much easier than I thought, I just used the $_FILES to store the image in a variable so I could use it in the $postfields array.

$url_media = "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update_with_media.json";
$requestMethod = "POST";

$tweetmsg = $_POST['post_description'];
$twimg = $_FILES['pictureFile']['tmp_name'];

    $postfields = array(
        'status' => $tweetmsg,
        'media[]' => '@' . $twimg
    );
    try {
        $twitter = new TwitterAPIExchange($settings);
        $twitter->buildOauth($url_media, $requestMethod)
                ->setPostfields($postfields)
                ->performRequest();

        echo "You just tweeted with an image";
    } catch (Exception $ex) {
        echo $ex->getMessage();
    }
