andrew_biggart Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Hi, I have got a problem with pulling tweets from twitter. It is currently working to an extent but I'm trying to do a str_replace so that I can convert characters like "<" into "<" etc. But at the moment it is still displaying the "<" instead of "<" what am I doing wrong? I am using the following code to fetch and display my tweets. <?php $username = "la__academia"; $limit = "2"; // Number of tweets to pull in. /* These prefixes and suffixes will display before and after the entire block of tweets. */ $prefix = "<a href='http://www.twitter.com/la__academia' class='twitter-link'>La Academia Tweets</a>"; // Prefix - some text you want displayed before all your tweets. $suffix = ""; // Suffix - some text you want displayed after all your tweets. $tweetprefix = "<p>"; // Prefix - some text you want displayed before each tweet. $tweetsuffix = "</p><span class='tweet-sep'></span>"; // Suffix - some text you want displayed after each tweet. $feed = "http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=from:" . $username . "&rpp=" . $limit; function parse_feed($feed, $prefix, $tweetprefix, $tweetsuffix, $suffix) { $feed = str_replace ("<", "<", $feed); $feed = str_replace (">", ">", $feed); $feed = str_replace (""", "\"", $feed); $feed = str_replace ("'", "'", $feed); $clean = explode ("<content type=\"html\">", $feed); $amount = count($clean) - 1; echo $prefix; for ($i = 1; $i <= $amount; $i++) { $cleaner = explode("</content>", $clean[$i]); echo $tweetprefix; echo $cleaner[0]; echo $tweetsuffix; } echo $suffix; } $twitterFeed = file_get_contents($feed); parse_feed($twitterFeed, $prefix, $tweetprefix, $tweetsuffix, $suffix); ?> I would also like to know how to get the and display the time etc for the tweet.

andrew_biggart Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 Ok never mind that last post I have solved all of the I've issues by doing everything a different way. If you are interested I will post the working code below. <?php $username = "la__academia"; $limit = "2"; $twitter_url = "http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/$username.xml?count=$limit"; $buffer = file_get_contents($twitter_url); $xml = new SimpleXMLElement($buffer); $status_item = $xml -> status; $user_item = $xml -> status -> user; $description = $status_item -> text; $status_time = $status_item -> created_at; $status_img = $user_item -> profile_image_url; $description = preg_replace("#(^|[\n ])([\w]+?://[\w]+[^ \"\n\r\t< ]*)#", "\\1<a href=\"\\2\" target=\"_blank\">\\2</a>", $description); $description = preg_replace("#(^|[\n ])((www|ftp)\.[^ \"\t\n\r< ]*)#", "\\1<a href=\"http://\\2\" target=\"_blank\">\\2</a>", $description); $description = preg_replace("/@(\w+)/", "<a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/\\1\" target=\"_blank\">@\\1</a>", $description); $description = preg_replace("/#(\w+)/", "<a href=\"http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%23\\1\" target=\"_blank\">#\\1</a>", $description); $date = strtotime($status_item -> created_at); $dayMonth = date('d M', $date); $year = date('y', $date); $message = $row['content']; $datediff = date_diff($theDate, $date); echo "<p><img src='$status_img' alt='profile pic' /> $status_time<br /> $description</p>"; ?> What I would like to do is add a while loop to this code now so that I can get as many tweets as is set in the $limit variable. At the minute the minute it is only displaying 1 tweet at a time. Thanks in advance.

andrew_biggart Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 You can ignore this as I havn't included the function. $date = strtotime($status_item -> created_at); $dayMonth = date('d M', $date); $year = date('y', $date); $message = $row['content']; $datediff = date_diff($theDate, $date); Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/225612-twitter-api-issues/#findComment-1165041 Share on other sites More sharing options...
