PHP- SHOW YOUR LATEST TWEET ON YOUR WEBSITE WITH PHP

In the archives, there’s a post that shows you how to show your latest tweet on your website using jQuery. While that method was OK, I found it rather temperamental. I have a PHP solution, which seems to be more responsive. The code is nice and easy, and will allow you to have something like this on your website:

Note: the graphics/styling obviously won’t appear, just the Tweet

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

<?php function parse_feed($feed) { $stepOne = explode("<content type=\"html\">", $feed); $stepTwo = explode("</content>", $stepOne[1]); $tweet = $stepTwo[0]; $tweet = html_entity_decode($tweet); return $tweet; }   function showTwitter($username) { $feed = "http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=from:" . $username . "&rpp=1"; $twitterFeed = file_get_contents($feed); return stripslashes(parse_feed($twitterFeed)); } ?>

And to print the Tweet, you just need to pass your Twitter username into the following function:

1	<?php echo showTwitter("YourTwitterUsername");?>
