Thanks a lot Matt. It worked. The two things I missed while trying to
upload the background image using your excellent library.
1) include filename={thefilename.jpg} element in the parameter array
2) add the 'use' => 'true' element in the parameter array.
Here is my final code
$params = array(
'image' =>
"@{$img_path};type=image/jpeg;filename={$image}",
);
$params['use'] = 'true';
$tmhOAuth->request('POST', $tmhOAuth->url("account/
update_profile_background_image"), $params,
true, // use auth
true // multipart
);
