While editing my blog theme, I decided to add my last thoughts in twitter to the website. Came with a very simple php code that will get the information from the last twitter post and show it as a text line, so you can add in anywhere you want.
This is the code:
< ?php
preg_match('#(.*)#',file_get_contents('http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/username.xml?count=1'), $matches);
echo $matches[0]
?> Of course, remember to change username for your own.
Hi Daniel- found you through Paul Stamatiou’s site, and since I don’t use wordpress (and thus no wordpress plugin goodness), I’m attempting your twitter method, as it appears to be platform independent. However, I put it in a php file on my site, and it just prints out the php file, not the tweet.
php works fine on the site, though.

yes I’m dumb… I removed the space between < and ? at the php, and now it doesn’t just print the contents of the php file. It doesn’t show the twitter info either though.
