Twitter XML problem

[tommyinnn]

I've managed to phase a few projects in the past, but need some help with my Twitter people search -

 

I've created a test Twitter account since you must supply one to run the search - it's already included in my code below

 

I've managed to get the raw XML data, but can't figure out how to get it to display right

 

You can view the raw XML data using http://api.twitter.com/1/users/search.xml?q=Doug%20Williams - (u/n "tommyphp p/w "theword") - although any Twitter username & password work

 

<?php
$username = "tommyphp";
$password = "theword";
$twitterHost = "http://api.twitter.com/1/users/search.xml?q=Doug%20Williams";
$curl;
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 2);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$username:$password");
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION, CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $twitterHost);
$result = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);
header('Content-Type: application/xml; charset=ISO-8859-1');
print $result;

?>

<?php 
$result = new SimpleXMLElement($xml);
foreach($result->users->user as $user) 
{
$name = $user->name;
?>


<?php

echo $name;

?>
<?
} 
?>

 

Thanks for any help or tips anyone can give

try this code

 

<?php
$username = "tommyphp";
$password = "theword";
$twitterHost = "http://api.twitter.com/1/users/search.xml?q=Doug%20Williams";
$curl;
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 2);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$username:$password");
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION, CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $twitterHost);
$result = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);
//header('Content-Type: application/xml; charset=ISO-8859-1');
//print $result;

$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($result);

foreach($xml->user as $user) {
$name = $user->name;
echo $name ."<br />";
}
?>

WOW, thanks so much - that did the trick!!

If you want to optimize your code a bit you can do

 

$name = '';
foreach($xml->user as $user) {
   $name .= $user->name.'<br />';
}
echo $name;

 

Instead of printing for each iteration you only print once.
