Try not urlencode()ing the text of the tweet.

[twitter-dev] Problem with posting info to twitter account

[Mike Jones]

Does anyone know why I get a bunch of "+" symbols instead of spaces
when I use this code that shoots my intranet posting to my twitter
account?

post('statuses/update', array('status' => "$status"));
}

function make_jmp_url($url,$login,$appkey,$format = 'xml',$version =
'2.0.1') {
//create the URL
$jmp = 'http://api. /shorten?version='.
$version.'&longUrl='.urlencode($url).'&login='.$login.'&apiKey='.
$appkey.'&format='.$format;

$response = file_get_contents($jmp);

if(strtolower($format) == 'json')
{
$json = @json_decode($response,true);
return $json['results'][$url]['shortUrl'];
}
else //xml
{
$xml = simplexml_load_string($response);
return 'http://j.mp/'.$xml->results->nodeKeyVal->hash;
}
}

$tweet = '';

$longURL = 'url' . $row->id;
$shortURL = make_jmp_url($longURL, 'admin', '', 'json');

$tweet .= urlencode( $row->title );

if (strlen($tweet) > 119) {
// shorten status update to fit in 140 with URL
$tweet = substr($tweet, 0, 116 ) . '...';
}

$tweet .= ' - ';
$tweet .= $shortURL;

tweet($tweet);
