Hi Taylor,
I made the following changes to my code
- I made the status only one word.
- Changed my curl statements to the following:
$ch = curl_init("http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/
update.json");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Expect: ",
"Authorization: $auth"));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $a);
$b = curl_exec($ch);
For the double encoding of the base string, I thought that was
procedural. All of the documents I've read said that the string should
be double encoded for this to work properly which is why my base
string is double encoded.
Either way, with the following changes in place, I still get the same
error.
