PHP example

<?php

$username = “jimis_fou”;

$readurl = “http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/“.$username.”.json”;

$rdata = json_decode(file_get_contents($readurl));

echo “
\r\n”;

print_r($rdata);

echo “\r\n”;

function url2link ($string, $target=“_blank”) {

preg_match_all(‘|(http://[^\s]+)|’, $string, $matches1);
if($matches1) {
foreach($matches1[0] as $match1) {
$hypertext = “<a href="”.$match1.“" target="”.$target.“">”.$match1.“”;
$string = str_replace($match1, $hypertext, $string);
}
}

preg_match_all(‘|(@[^\s]+)|’, $string, $matches2);
if($matches2) {
foreach($matches2[0] as $match2) {
$hypertext = “<a href="http://twitter.com/“.$match2.”\” target="“.$target.”">“.$match2.”";
$string = str_replace($match2, $hypertext, $string);
}
}

return $string;
}

foreach($rdata as $ritem) {

$showtext = $ritem->text;

$showtext = utf8_decode($showtext);
$showtext = url2link($showtext);

$status_timestamp = strtotime($ritem->created_at);
$status_locdate = date(“Y-m-d (H:i:s)”,$status_timestamp);

echo “<p style="text-align:left; width:570px; clear:both;">\r\n”;
echo “<a href="http://twitter.com/“.$ritem->user->screen_name.”\” title="“.$ritem->user->name.”" target="_blank"><img src="“.$ritem->user->profile_image_url.”" alt="“.$ritem->user->name.”" align="left" width="48" height="48" border="0" style="padding:10px 8px 2px 0px;" />\r\n";
echo " <a href="http://twitter.com/“.$ritem->user->screen_name.”\" title="“.$ritem->user->name.”" target="_blank"><strong style="font-size:140%;">“.$ritem->user->screen_name.”    “.$ritem->user->name.” \r\n";
echo “<span style="padding:0px 12px 0px 0px; float:right;">”.$status_locdate.“\r\n”;
echo “
\r\n”;

index,php ???

This no longer works because http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/“.$username.”.json no longer exists

Awesome @10games! I’m new to PHP and I’m not finding the documentation particularly helpful (coming from JavaScript) and the ability to pull values from an object with $ritem->user->name totally made my day!
