title: How do I format a retweet request through the Abraham twitteroauth php class?
body: <p>I'm damned if I can make this work. Your help would be appreciated. I have valid access tokens, and can use twitteroauth to post status updates. However: every way I've tried to come at retweets has failed.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$parameters = array('id' =&gt; $status_id);
  $retweet = $connection-&gt;post('statuses/retweet', $parameters);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Gets an error response of "not found." I'm not sure what's not found - the id of the tweet that I'm trying to retweet, or the method I'm calling (statuses/retweet). I'm passing valid ID's through the request (I can find them on Twitter), and so on. Any ideas?</p>
  
  <p>Here's the documentation:
  <a href="http://dev.twitter.com/doc/post/statuses/retweet/:id" rel="nofollow">http://dev.twitter.com/doc/post/statuses/retweet/:id</a></p>
  
  <p>I've also tried:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$parameters = array('id' =&gt; $status_id);
  $retweet = $connection-&gt;post('statuses/retweet/', $parameters);
  
  $parameters = array('id' =&gt; $status_id);
  $retweet = $connection-&gt;post('statuses/retweet/:', $parameters);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and...</p>
  
  <pre><code>$retweet = $connection-&gt;post('statuses/retweet/:123456.json');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>With either null responses (??) or the same enigmatic "not found."</p>
