Twitter OAuth - Invalid or expired access token

Question

I am trying to share post using twitteroauth with latest version. Below is my code.

require APP."Vendor/twitteroauth-master/autoload.php"; // twitter v0.5.1 SDK

if(isset($_REQUEST['oauth_verifier'])) {

        $request_token = [];
        $request_token['oauth_token'] = $this->Session->read('twtr_oauth_token');
        $request_token['oauth_token_secret'] = $this->Session->read('twtr_oauth_token_secret');

        /* If denied, bail. */
        if (isset($_REQUEST['denied'])) {
            exit('Permission was denied. Please start over.');
        }

        /* If the oauth_token is not what we expect, bail. */
        if (isset($_REQUEST['oauth_token']) && $request_token['oauth_token'] !== $_REQUEST['oauth_token']) {
            $this->Session->write("twtr_oauth_token" , '');
            $this->Session->write("twtr_oauth_token_secret" , '');
            exit;
        }

        debug($request_token);

        /* Create TwitteroAuth object with app key/secret and token key/secret from default phase */
        $connection = new TwitterOAuth("KEY", "SECRET", $request_token['oauth_token'], $request_token['oauth_token_secret']);

        debug($connection);

        $content = $connection->get('account/verify_credentials');

        debug($content);

        /* Request access token from twitter */
        $access_token = $connection->oauth("oauth/access_token", array("oauth_verifier" => $_REQUEST['oauth_verifier']));

        /** Finally post things */
        $result = $connection->post("statuses/update", array("status" => "hello world"));

        if(isset($result->errors) && count($result->errors) > 0) {
            debug($connection->post("statuses/update", array("status" => "hello world")));
            exit;
        }

        $this->redirect("http://twitter.com");

    } else {

        $connection = new TwitterOAuth("KEY", "SECRET");

        /** Get Temp Token */
        $request_token = $connection->oauth('oauth/request_token', array('oauth_callback' => "https://180.211.99.162:9051/widgetapi/twitterOauth"));

        switch ($connection->getLastHttpCode()) {
            case 200:
                /** Write OAuth token and secret into session */
                $this->Session->write("twtr_oauth_token" , $request_token['oauth_token']);
                $this->Session->write("twtr_oauth_token_secret" , $request_token['oauth_token_secret']);

                /** Build Auth URL */
                $url = $connection->url('oauth/authorize', array('oauth_token' => $request_token['oauth_token']));

                /** Redirect */
                $this->redirect($url);
                break;
            default:
                /* Show notification if something went wrong. */
                echo 'Could not connect to Twitter. Refresh the page or try again later.';
        }
    }

When I try to achieve this I get invalid or expired access token.

        }
    )
}

I am not able to figure out the issue! Any idea whats wrong here?

Answer 1

Once you got callback, initialize class again with new access token

/* Request access token from twitter */
$access_token = $connection->oauth("oauth/access_token", array("oauth_verifier" => $_REQUEST['oauth_verifier']));

$connection = new TwitterOAuth("KEY", "SECRET", $access_token['oauth_token'], $access_token['oauth_token_secret']); 

Answer 2

Using the latest version of TwitterOAuth, and with help from @user3989103's answer in this thread and https://twittercommunity.com/t/twitter-oauth-verifier-does-not-always-work/31672, what worked for me was:

$connection = new TwitterOAuth($key, $secret, $_SESSION['request_token'], $_SESSION['request_token_secret']);

$access_token = $connection->oauth('oauth/access_token', array('oauth_verifier' => $_REQUEST['oauth_verifier'], 'oauth_token'=> $_REQUEST['oauth_token']));

$connection = new TwitterOAuth($key, $secret, $access_token['oauth_token'], $access_token['oauth_token_secret']);

$credentials = $connection->get('account/verify_credentials');
