Twitter user's data using php api version 1.0

I think you want to display your twitter update into your web. I coded it using curl and it display the twitter data without authentication. You can see the demo.

Code:

<?php
/**
*
* Description: Twitter users feed without aouth (V1.0).
*
* Author: Md. Mahedi Azad
* Email: mahediazad@gmail.com
* Web: www.mahediazad.info
* Date: 14 Mar 2013
*
**/

/**
* var $username the twitter username
* var $feednumber the feed number in wall to display
*
**/
function get_data($username, $feednumber=3) {
 $url = "https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?include_entities=true&include_rts=true&screen_name=$username&count=$feednumber";
 $ch = curl_init();
 $timeout = 5;
 curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url);
 curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
 curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,$timeout);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
 $data = curl_exec($ch);
 curl_close($ch);
 return $data;
}


$json = get_data('mahediazad'); //calling function

if ($json != false) {
 $obj = json_decode($json); //decoding the data in json

 //Displaying the json datra 
 foreach($obj as $var => $value) {
  echo "Message number: $var <br/>";    
  echo "Name: " . $obj[$var]->user->name. "<br/>"; 
  echo "Handle: " . $obj[$var]->user->screen_name . "<br/>";        
  echo "Message: " . $obj[$var]->text. "<br/>";         
  echo "Created:  " . $obj[$var]->created_at . "<br/>";                    
  echo "URL: " . $obj[$var]->user->url . "<br/>";
  echo "Location: " . $obj[$var]->user->location . "<br/>";       
  echo "<br/>";
 }
}
else {
 echo "Could not fetch Twitter data";
}

?>
