Twitter api upload image always return error "media type unrecognized"

I do POST-request on https://upload.twitter.com/1.1/media/upload.json with postfield

'media_data' => base64_encode(file_get_contents($path))

twitter api always return error "media type unrecognized".

what's wrong?

I tried to change postfield to those versions:

'media_data' => 'data:image/'.$type.';base64,' . base64_encode(file_get_contents($path)),
'media' => file_get_contents($path),
'media' => realpath($path)...

file formats: jpeg, jpg

I'm not sure why media wasn't working for you, but media_data has to be used without the header. I've used it this way and it works.

'media_data' => base64_encode(file_get_contents($path));
