I managed to get photos on tweets with pics but the problem is the tweet comes with something like this:

Have you heard this song? Mr Phat-Mama http://t.co/APywhtwIdV via @kymdynis @Dj_Klint.

how can i get rid of this 'http://t.co/APywhtwldV'

It doesn't look like there is a straightforward fix with the PHP variables that are generated from the Twitter API data.

If the link is part of the tweet text, you would need to parse every tweet string with PHP and then replace all identified URL's with an empty string. This is likely a job best done with regular expressions.

PHP documentation on preg_replace that would allow you to match a URL and replace it with an empty string to remove it:

http://php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php

And here is a Stack Overflow article on regular expressions for URL:

The tweet text is stored in the $tweetTitle PHP variable in the above script that you linked.
