如何解析变量？

Question

I have the following test line in my PHP which works fine as a way of posting to Twitter from within my PHP code.

$oauth->post('statuses/update', array('status' => "hello world"));

However I want to post the contents of a variable as opposed to Hello World

If I change the code as follows, then all that gets posted is $message

$oauth->post('statuses/update', array('status' => '$message'));

I also tried without the ' but then nothing got posted, ie

$oauth->post('statuses/update', array('status' => $message));

How can I correctly parse the contents of $message?

$message is created as follows

$message = "http://www.smartphonesoft.com/index.php?option=com_mtree&task=viewlink&link_id=" .$link_id . " " ."Windows Phone Software" . " " .$link_name . " " . $metadesc;

I added an echo $message which showed me what I expected, namely:

http://www.smartphonesoft.com/index.php?option=com_mtree&task=viewlink&link_id=33183073 Windows Phone Software Pocket Player Pocket Player is a rockin' way to enjoy music and video on your Windows Mobile device. Through multiple media and playlist formats, Internet connectivity, plugin extensions, and an intuitive interface, Pocket Player means less taps, more music!

Thanks,

From the Twitter API doc for status/update:

• status The text of your status update, up to 140 characters. URL encode as necessary.

So I'd say you have to shorten the $message, because yours has 369 characters.
