// Create a client object
$client = new Client([
'YOUR CONSUMER_KEY',
'YOUR CONSUMER_SECRET',
'YOUR ACCESS_TOKEN',
'YOUR ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET',
]);
try {
// Send a POST request to Twitter
$status = $client->post('statuses/update', [
'status' => 'I like 🍣',
]);
// Report your tweet permalink URL
echo "Tweeted: https://twitter.com/{$status->user->screen_name}/status/{$status->id_str}\n";
