Twitter posts cannot handle ampersands in tweet

[kerryusry]

I tried a number of different encodings but but kept getting 'incorrect signature'. In the end I though I should mention it because the library should be able to handle it. I love the library it is working great but I am just utilizing the post functionality, thanks.

maybe this fixes it? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3084330/passing-string-to-twitter-fails-after-ampersand

I think line 119:

$post = substr($post, 0, -1);

should be:

$post = urlencode(substr($post, 0, -1));

Could someone test that fix suggestion and send me a pull request if it works?
Not got access to this repo right now, but MVUG's fix looks like it's the right lines.

Essentially, it needs to url_encode the message that the user is about to tweet.

@elliot can you fix your code with suggested fixes? thanx!

@MVUG - I ran into this problem too and tried your solution, but it didn't work. Your solution also modified the ampersands used to separate the variables, so the tweet was failing again.

I updated line 122 to the following:

$post .= "{$k}=".urlencode($v)."&";

I'm also assuming that this can be changed in the get() function right above, but I did not test that one out. Once I made this change I was able to send out tweets with ampersands.

I already parsed "&" to "%26" with str_replace('&','%26', $string); but still caught the same error.

Can this be fixed?

Yes it can, I already submit my pull request: #15
