I am trying to work with the twitter API using Abraham's twitteroauth, I posted a tweet but now I need to get the ID of said tweet, I have been trying to look for a way to get the ID of a tweet as soon as I post it, but can't seem to find a way to do it that works for me.
The following code is what I am using to get the ID, but I get nothing from that that echo, just a blank "tweet ID: "
$postResult= $twitter->post('statuses/update', $parameters);
$test = json_decode($postResult->response);
$tweetID = $test->id_str;
echo "Tweet ID: " . $tweetID;
Printing the $postResult gives me the whole object (a huge mess to look at for someone with little experience like me) but I am not sure if I am doing something wrong (probably am) when trying to get the ID out of it, if you guys happen to know a simple way to do it I would love to know about it.
Also if you happen to know how I could retrieve the account's @ScreenName that would be nice too...
Thanks!
EDIT: Here's what I get from $postResult:

EDIT 2: I tried print_r() and got the following:
