Matt,
I tried changing my script to generate a gif, and my issues with
twitter dissapeared, but my image was no longer rendering properly so
I switched the output back to png and added the mimetype to the image
data, but now I'm not getting any response.
foreach($_POST as $key => $var){
$POST[$key] = htmlspecialchars($var,ENT_QUOTES);
}
if($POST['twittername'] != '' && $POST['twitterpass'] != ''){
$url = 'http://twitter.com/users/show/' . urlencode($POST
['twittername']) . '.xml';
$curl = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_NOBODY, 0);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION,1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$response = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);
$user = new SimpleXMLElement($response);
$image_array = explode('.',$user->profile_image_url);
$filename = $POST['twittername'] . '-' . time() . '.png';
$badge = imagecreatefrompng($POST['badge']);
switch($image_array[(sizeof($image_array) - 1)]){
case 'jpg':
$avatar =
imagecreatefromjpeg($user->profile_image_url);
break;
case 'png':
$avatar =
imagecreatefrompng($user->profile_image_url);
break;
case 'gif':
$avatar =
imagecreatefromgif($user->profile_image_url);
break;
default:
$avatar =
imagecreatefrompng($user->profile_image_url);
break;
}
imagealphablending($badge,1);
imagealphablending($avatar,1);
imagecopy($avatar,$badge,0,0,0,0,48,48);
imagepng($avatar,$filename);
//*
$url = 'http://twitter.com/account/update_profile_image.xml';
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, "$url");
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Expect:'));
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 4);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,array('image' => "@
$filename;type=image/png"));
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $POST['twittername'] . ':' .
$POST['twitterpass']);
$response = curl_exec($curl);
$info = curl_getinfo($curl);
curl_close($curl);
imagedestroy($badge);
imagedestroy($avatar);
unlink($filename);
