Show DevBest [PHP] Twitter "Latest Tweet" script.

[RyanMK]

Right, this script will display your most recent tweet on twitter.
You will need to make a file called latesttweet.php and insert the code below.

<?php
// This part pulls your twitter ID from the previous page.
$username = $twitterid;
// Prefix - some text you want displayed before your latest tweet. (HTML is OK, but be sure to escape quotes with backslashes: for example href=\"link.html\")
$prefix = "<p>";
// Suffix - some text you want display after your latest tweet. (Same rules as the prefix.)
$suffix = "<br /><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://twitter.com/".$twitterid."\"><em>http://twitter.com/".$twitterid."</em></a></p>";
// The Science.
$feed = "http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=from:" . $username . "&rpp=2";
function parse_feed($feed) {
    $stepOne = explode("<content type=\"html\">", $feed);
    $stepTwo = explode("</content>", $stepOne[1]);
    $tweet = $stepTwo[0];
    $tweet = str_replace("&lt;", "<", $tweet);
    $tweet = str_replace("&gt;", ">", $tweet);
    $tweet = str_replace("&quot;", "\"", $tweet);
    $tweet = str_replace("&amp;apos;", "'", $tweet);
    return $tweet;
}
$twitterFeed = file_get_contents($feed);
echo $prefix.parse_feed($twitterFeed).$suffix;
?>

After you've done that, put this php code on you page wherever you want it to display.

<?php
$twitterid = "Twitter Account";
require_once('latesttweet.php');?>

Be sure to enter your twitter username in the include code above.

Or you could just use the twitter plugin for jQuery OOOR preg_match_all and get all the tweets, ohwell, nice work.

Your right you could but this was coded quickly for a mate starting a fansite and I thought what the hell and release it.

Very Good Script, I like the idear.

You could make an API out of this so that other people could use the script without having to have the code

So instead of having:

<?php
$twitterid = "Twitter Account";
require_once('latesttweet.php');
?>

You could have:

<?php
$twitterid = $_GET['twitterid'];
require_once( 'latesttweet.php' );
?>

Then other people could use it by having this code:

<iframe src="http://www.site-with-twitter-api.com/get_tweet.php?twitterid=iiM4RKx"></iframe>

Just an idea, but nice code
