“Could not authenticate you.” -error when using Twitter OAuth

Question

I\'m building my first system using Twitters OAuth and have some issues.

First, I\'m using Abraham\'s Twitter-class for this and I have followed this tutorial. However,

Answer 1

I was having the same error, caused by a simple mistake:

Doesn’t work: $this->twitteroauth->post('statuses/update’, $message);

Works: $this->twitteroauth->post('statuses/update', array("status" => $message));

Answer 2

The Snipe.net tutorial is for an older version of TwitterOAuth. Make sure you read the new documentation

http://github.com/abraham/twitteroauth/blob/master/DOCUMENTATION

In general updating to the new version is changing:

$content = $to->OAuthRequest('https://twitter.com/account/verify_credentials.xml', array(), 'GET');

to:

$content = $to->get('account/verify_credentials');
