    Yes it is a valid Twitter account!

    You need to edit php.ini and set allow_url_fopen to ON, which will allow you to get offsite data (from twitter).
  • WandererWanderer
    No way I can do that, my host won't let me.

    Looks like I'll have to revert to other widgets that don't require this setting.

    Thanks anyway.

    Why are you using file_get_contents?

    You should use CURL and the available API to fetch the JSON-based content.

    eg;

    http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=from:some_user_name

    You can then use json_decode() to drop it into a standard array and drop a little foreach/while magic on it.

    Much easier than doing a file_get_contents on the XML feed. Not mentioning that fact that most people won't enable allow_url_fopen since it's a horrendously unsafe "feature".

    If I can figure out the Vanilla methodology, I'll make the change and toss a patch/diff to you.

    Here's a quick example;

    <?php
    $tweets = "http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=from:GeekApp";

    $tw = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($tw, CURLOPT_URL, $tweets);
    curl_setopt($tw, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
    $twi = curl_exec($tw);

    var_dump(json_decode($twi));
    ?>

    No, I don't tweet very often.
