Display Most Recent Twitter Entry

Here is a small script for WordPress blog that allows us to pull the latest tweet from a Twitter user via the RSS feed that is produced by Twitter.

<?php
$username = "TwitterUsername"; // Your twitter username.
$prefix = ""; // Prefix - some text you want displayed before your latest tweet.
$suffix = ""; // Suffix - some text you want display after your latest tweet.
$feed = "http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=from:" . $username . "&rpp=1";  

function parse_feed($feed) {
$stepOne = explode("<content type=\"html\">", $feed);
$stepTwo = explode("</content>", $stepOne[1]);
$tweet = $stepTwo[0];
$tweet = str_replace("&lt;", "<", $tweet);
$tweet = str_replace("&gt;", ">", $tweet);
return $tweet;
}  

$twitterFeed = file_get_contents($feed);
echo stripslashes($prefix) . parse_feed($twitterFeed) . stripslashes($suffix);
?>
