在php cURL中忽略@而不对其进行编码

Question

I am sending an image and a tweet (text) to Twitter API as multipart/form-data. The image starts with '@someimagefile' and works as expected. The tweet text is something like, '@username hi.' but fails because cURL tries to interpret @username as a file path and errors out.

See answer from Wang Bin: https://stackoverflow.com/a/9137917/922522

While a work-around is to prefix the tweet text with a space so the @ isn't the first char, I was wondering if there was a better way to do this? Twitter does not allow the @ sign to be encoded as anything else, https://dev.twitter.com/discussions/6663 .

Is there a way to make cURL for PHP ignore the @ sign in the text (and not for the image)?

Answer 1

Have you tried encoding the "@" in the tweet?

str_replace('@', urlencode('@'), $tweet);

edit: I saw your the forum post you linked and I believe he's saying it needs to be percent encoded which is what urlencode does. Have you tried what I posted above? If not give it a shot.
