Many thanks to Nick Heer and his code for using php to pull your most recent tweet.
Unfortunately my host does not all File_Got_Contents() so that left me with curl:
<?php
$username = "thatbradleyguy";
$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];
$tweet = htmlspecialchars_decode($tweet,ENT_QUOTES);
return $tweet;
}
//Initialize the Curl session
$ch = curl_init();
//Set curl to return the data instead of printing it to the browser.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
//Set the URL
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $feed);
//Execute the fetch
$twitterFeed = curl_exec($ch);
//Close the connection
curl_close($ch);
//$twitterFeed = file_get_contents($feed);
echo('"'.parse_feed($twitterFeed).'"');
?>
