[SOLVED] Number of Twitter Posts?

[cahamilton]

Hey guys.

 

I've been working on a script recently, which Im going to be using to take my recent "Tweets" from Twitter, and post them into my portfolio site. So far, all is good and I've been able to retrieve this data using the API feeds.

 

The only problem is, I cant find anywhere in the API that allows me to control how many entries will show up on my page. Is there any way using PHP, to restrict how many entries are fed out? Here's the code I've been working with so far....

 

<?php 
$user_id = "USER_ID";
$feed_url = "http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/".$user_id.".rss";
$sxml_twitter = @simplexml_load_file($feed_url); ?>

<?php
foreach ($sxml_twitter->channel->item as $entry) { 
$news_title = $entry->description;		
$date = $entry->pubDate;
?>

<?php 
echo "	
<ul>						
<li class='tweet'>$news_title</li>
<li class='date_twitter'>$date</li>
</ul>";
?>    	

<?php } ?>

set a variable, like $loop; set it to 0

 

$loop = 0;

foreach (.....) {

  $loop++;

  if ($loop == 10) break;

}

Use a for loop...

 

<?php
for ($i = 0; $i < 10; $i ++) {
  $entry = $sxml_twitter->channel->item[$i];
  $news_title = $entry->description;		
  $date = $entry->pubDate;

  echo "	
    <ul>						
      <li class='tweet'>$news_title</li>
      <li class='date_twitter'>$date</li>
    </ul>";
}
?>

}
?>

 

That worked great thanks! I'll keep that in mind for next time
