Hi, great piece of coding. this is excellent.

I have two questions for you, if that is ok?

1) DId you manage to find a solution to changing the ‘post time’ to more twitter like, rather than showing the exact date it was posted. ‘posted 1 day ago’ etc?

2) Is there a possiblity of having a ‘follow me’ link at the end? What snippet of code would I need to add.

many thanks
Gary

@Matthew – You need to create a folder named “cache” inside the folder “twitter_test” and change the permission of “cache” to 777, and not change the permission of “twitter_test” to 777.

I am using this at http://www.wadehammes.com and it has been working great up til that last tweet being shown. It hasn’t changed in over 3 hours – could this be a Twitter api thing?

This code works great, except for that it doesn’t seem to grab any twitter posts if you haven’t written any for a couple days.

e.g. not grabbing top three tweets if those tweets are over ~4 days old.

Hey Matt, try this
$tweet = html_entity_decode($tweet);
instead of
$tweet = str_replace(“<”, “”, $tweet);
it will replace all the html sensitive characters by their display code :)

Works great! The only problem I am having is that it does not seem to handle apostrophes very well. I wrote “don’t” in my tweet and it shows up as “'” on my blog. Other punctuation seems fine. Any ideas why this would happen?
