    <p>So far I have been trying to update the twitter profile bg image thr the twitter api with php... and without success</p> <p>Many examples on the web, including this one:<br/> <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1483163/updating-twitter-background-via-api">Updating Twitter background via API</a> <br/> and this one<br/> <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1485136/twitter-background-upload-with-api-and-multi-form-data">Twitter background upload with API and multi form data</a> <br/> do not work at all, most ppl throw out answers without actually testing the code.</p> <p>I found that directly submit the image to the twitter.com thr html form, it will work:</p> <pre><code>&lt;form action="http://twitter.com/account/update_profile_background_image.xml" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post"&gt; File: &lt;input type="file" name="image" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;input type="submit" value="upload bg"&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p>(although the browser will prompt you for the twitter account username and password)</p> <p>However, if I want to go thr the same process with php, it fails</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php if( isset($_POST["submit"]) ) { $target_path = ""; $target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['myfile']['name']); if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['myfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) { // "The file ". basename( $_FILES['myfile']['name']). " has been uploaded&lt;br/&gt;"; } else{ // "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!&lt;br/&gt;"; } $ch = curl_init('http://twitter.com/account/update_profile_background_image.xml'); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_ANY); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $_POST['name'] . ':' . $_POST['pass']); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Expect:')); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array('image' =&gt; base64_encode(file_get_contents($target_path)))); $rsp = curl_exec($ch); echo "&lt;pre&gt;" . str_replace("&lt;", "&amp;lt;", $rsp) . "&lt;/pre&gt;"; } ?&gt; &lt;form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post"&gt; &lt;input type="hidden" name="submit" value="1"/&gt; name:&lt;input type="text" name="name" value=""/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; pass:&lt;input type="password" name="pass" value=""/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; File: &lt;input type="file" name="myfile" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;input type="submit" value="upload bg"&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p>The strange thing of this code is that.. it successfully returns the twitter XML, <em>WITHOUT</em> having the profile background image updated. So at the end it still fails.</p> <p>Many thanks for reading this. It will be great if you can help. Please kindly test your code first before throwing out answers, many many thanks.</p>

    1. CO"most ppl throw out answers without actually testing the code" Most people here throw out answers that should help point question askers in the right direction. As both answers you link to were accepted, that indicates the posters were satisfied with the direction the answer pointed them in.

    2. COWhy the manually-constructed HTTP auth header? Try using CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH and CURLOPT_USERPWD, as in this example: http://www.higherpass.com/php/Tutorials/Using-Curl-To-Query-Remote-Servers/5/

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
