Twitter API version 2 Image Uploading Error

Question

I'm using Twitter library its called Twitteroauth, and follow their instruction about image posting. So when I try to do image posting its throwing error because media are not uploading. Normal text posting is working fine as expected and everything I did check many times, but its not working. So can anyone fix this?

Image uploading is not working:

require "vendor/autoload.php";

use Abraham\TwitterOAuth\TwitterOAuth;

$connection = new TwitterOAuth('p8kebRtLTYZo4Lyc8p17lcUGZ', 'KUmxOxfgfISQPxM64kqA9YTEibC28s2tNjcqBNu5YpY1wTuJNU', '1236013086688989184-c5gHPKryY5zJTJp03ILU1N31atayJp', 'yvunJthcPlBRXnUaBwfbIpyv6q5i7jJX3TzxjLK6Mq5On');
$connection->setApiVersion('2');
$image = [];

$media = $connection->upload('media/upload', ['media' => 'C:\xampp\htdocs\twitter_oauth\S3169002871756923800.jpg']);
array_push($image, $media->media_id_string);

$data =  [
    'text' => 'Hello world',
    'media'=> ['media_ids' => $image]
];


$content = $connection->post("tweets", $data, true);

echo "<pre>";
print_r($content);
exit;

Getting error because of image uploading is not working. What can be the issue? Please help.

Expecting that it will work as per their documentation but its not working.

I know this is an old question but better late than never, right?

At the beginning of your code, just after creating the connection, instead of using this:

$connection->setApiVersion('2');

...try this...

$connection->setApiVersion('1.1');.

Leave the rest as is.

I don't know why this works but it does. I guess bugs.
