PHP - How to post photo in twitter using OAuth

Question

Is there a good Samaritan that can give the working code for uploading photos to twitter using PHP website?

I have searched a lot but it's not working for me. I don't know if I missed to add something or the code is not functioning well anymore.

I'm open for any link to that tutorial for this matter.

thanks in advance.

You'll need the tmoauth library from twitter. I can't explain how to implement within your code, but this is cut and pasted from my working code, but I had to anonymize some stuff.

//THIS IS THE CREDS FOR TWITTER - I HAVE THEM IN AN ARRAY
    $tmhOAuth = new tmhOAuth(array(
       'consumer_key'    => $network_array['consumer_key'], 
       'consumer_secret' => $network_array['consumer_secret'],
       'user_token'      => $network_array['user_token'],
       'user_secret'     => $network_array['user_secret']
      ));
     }

//PARAMS UNIQUE FOR THIS TWEET
       $params = array(
      'media[]' => '@' . $process_image['image_path'],  //PATH TO IMAGE
      'status' => $tweet_response,  //THIS IS THE TEXT WE USE FOR THE TWEET
      'in_reply_to_status_id' => $mentions[$c]["id"]  //IF REPLYING, IT'S HERE
       );

//THIS IS HOW YOU TELL TWITTER IT'S A PHOTO

       $code = $tmhOAuth->user_request(array(
      'method' => 'POST',
      'url' => $tmhOAuth->url("1.1/statuses/update_with_media"),
      'params' => $params,
      'multipart' => true
       ));
