 I'm kinda new to php and have no clue how to do this, but how would I
 make links from the description field clickable? I know I need to add
 a href=link here text /a but how do i go about doing it, below
 is the coding I'm using currently.

 ?php
 $username = RuneTweeter;
 $rssUrl = http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/$username.rss?
 count=5;
 $rss = @file_get_contents($rssUrl);

 if($rss){
 $xml = @simplexml_load_string($rss);
 if($xml !== false){

 foreach($xml-channel-item as $tweet){

 echo substr($tweet-pubDate,0, -6).br /;
 echo substr($tweet-description,13).br /;
 echo a href=\{$tweet-link}\{$tweet-link}/abr /br /;

 }

 }else{
 echo Error: RSS file not valid!;
 }
 }else{
 echo Error: RSS file not found. Username invalid or requires
 authentication;
 }
 ?

Tom,
We do not allow HTML in tweets. Only plain text. Any links sent will be
automatically linked on Twitter.com but it is up to third-party clients to
handle any linking within their application.

Thanks,
Doug
