There is an easier way when you’re using Zend Framework though – Zend_Service_Twitter. Bellow is just a simple example usage.

In the controller:

  1. $twitter = new Zend_Service_Twitter('your_username', 'your_password');
  2. // return last 20 statuses from a user
  3. $this->view->xml = $twitter->status->userTimeline();

In the view (to print the last user’s status):

  1. <p><?php echo $this->escape($this->xml->status[0]->text); ?></p>

For other availale methods read the whole documentation. Also don’t forget to take a look at other APIs the Zend Framework can work with natively (including Akismet, Amazon, Del.icio.us, Flickr, Yahoo and others) here.
