Get a Twitter feed to my website using PHP

I was just wondering, what PHP methods would I use to get the most recent tweet of a twitter user to display in a box on my website?

any suggestions on how i may achieve this would be g开发者_如何学Creat.

There is also a built in simplexml function:

// Parse the raw xml
$xml    =    simplexml_load_file('http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/{yourfeed}.rss');


// Go through each tweet
foreach ($xml->channel->item as $tweet)
{
    echo $tweet->title . '<br />';
}

Try a library: http://dev.twitter.com/pages/libraries#php

Or, if those seem like overkill for some reason, load the feed via cURL and simplexml_load_string. Manipulate as needed.

This will show your last tweet:

<?php

$ch = curl_init("http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/{yourtwitterfeed}.rss");
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_HEADER,0);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);

$data = simplexml_load_string(curl_exec($ch));
curl_close($ch);

echo $data->channel->item[0]->title;

EDIT : Ha. Or you can use simplexml_load_file("{url goes here}") instead of all that cURL stuff. I forgot you can do that.
