Post Status with media

[CanOzp]

Hello I am trying to post tweet with media id but this code can post tweet without media. Could you help me?

require_once('TwitterAPIExchange.php');
$settings = array(
    'oauth_access_token' => "******",
    'oauth_access_token_secret' => "******",
    'consumer_key' => "******",
    'consumer_secret' => "******"
);
$twitter = new TwitterAPIExchange($settings);
                    $url = "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json";
                $twitter = new TwitterAPIExchange($settings);
                $requestMethod = 'POST';
                $response = $twitter->setPostfields(
                    array('status' => 'TEST Tweet', 'possibly_sensitive' => false, 'media_ids' => 906125425373360128)
                )
                                    ->buildOauth($url, $requestMethod)
                                    ->performRequest();

This test shows uploading a media to get an id.

This test shows tweeting with the previously retrieved media id.

The tests pass so the code works! :)

Thank you for respond. I copied uploading media code and now i get this error "Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /home/..."

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
require_once('TwitterAPIExchange.php');
/** Set access tokens here - see: https://dev.twitter.com/apps/ **/
$settings = array(
    'oauth_access_token' => "",
    'oauth_access_token_secret' => "",
    'consumer_key' => "",
    'consumer_secret' => ""
);

$twitter = new TwitterAPIExchange($settings);
        $file = file_get_contents(__DIR__ . '/doviz.jpg');
        $data = base64_encode($file);
        $url    = 'https://upload.twitter.com/1.1/media/upload.json';
        $method = 'POST';
        $params = array(
            'media_data' => $data
        );
        $data     = $this->exchange->request($url, $method, $params);
        $expected = 'image\/png';
        $this->assertContains($expected, $data);
        /** Store the media id for later **/
        $data = @json_decode($data, true);
        $this->assertArrayHasKey('media_id', is_array($data) ? $data : array());
        self::$mediaId = $data['media_id'];

I'd recommend googling errors like "Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context". It means you haven't put them in an object, so $this doesn't refer to anything. You can't just copy and paste code and expect it to work...

[J7mbo]

Closing this as no response and it doesn't seem directly related to the library but more to PHP instead. If this is not the case, please feel free to re-open / create a new issue.

@J7mbo I need help please. I get the same error. Here ist my code. // Upload image to twitter $url = "https://upload.twitter.com/1.1/media/upload.json"; $requestMethod = "POST"; $media = file_get_contents($temp); $params = array( "media" => $media, );

                $twitter = new TwitterAPIExchange($settings);

                $res = $twitter->setPostFields($params)
                    ->buildOauth($url, $requestMethod)
                    ->performRequest();

                // Result is a json string
                $result = json_decode($res);

                $media_ids = $result->media_id_string;

                // Post on Twitter
                $url = "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json";
                $requestMethod = "POST";

                $postfields = array(
                    'status' => $status,
                    'media_ids' => $media_ids);

                $twitter = new TwitterAPIExchange($settings);
                $resultat = json_decode($twitter->buildOauth($url, $requestMethod)
                    ->setPostfields($postfields)
                    ->performRequest());`

@koese66 Can you please print the error that you get?

Also, can you verify that you have looked at the tests from here: https://github.com/J7mbo/twitter-api-php/issues/246#issuecomment-328087306, ensured you are doing the same thing? Because the tests pass and they prove that what you are trying to do works.

[koese66]

@J7mbo I try it just now but I dont use PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase - am I wrong? I only use class TwitterAPIExchange

[J7mbo]

You don't need PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase, that's there because this is an automated test. So you don't need: $this->assertContains($expected, $data); or $this->assertArrayHasKey('media_id', is_array($data) ? $data : array());.

Instead of self::$mediaId = $data['media_id'];, just say $mediaId = $data['media_id'] and then you should have the value you need in $mediaId to make the second request which you can see in the second test.

@J7mbo Ok so far what is with this: $data = $this->exchange->request($url, $method, $params); Is this ok? Do I have change it also? Because my script doesnt work yet.

[J7mbo]

$this refers to the current object. So you just want $exchange, or whatever your twitterapiexchange object is stored in.

If you need help with writing PHP in general, please post a question on StackOverflow as this is just for library problems. :-)

@J7mbo Hey where can I post my own code? My script posted a status but without the image. I need help :) thx for your help ;)

[koese66]
