Latest Twitter Update With PHP/RSS – Part Two

Pull multiple tweets from a Twitter user using PHP and the Search API! In part one of this tutorial we have a script that allows us to pull the latest tweet from a Twitter user via the RSS feed that is produced by Twitter. We are also able to set a prefix and a suffix for the tweet for further customization. In part two we are going to introduce two more prefix and suffix variables along with the ability to pull numerous tweets. With limits set in the Twitter API, we can pull anywhere from 1 to 100.

I spent a few cycles this afternoon integrating my Twitter timeline with my Movable Type blogging software. Surprisingly, things worked out great with no issues in the first version. The Twitter API is a well-written REST service that made it incredibly easy to combine my lifestream with my Tweets. BTW, I hate the word “Tweet” but that’s the terminology everyone in Twitter land seems use so I will too.
