That's a pretty wide-ranging question. You'll unlikely be happy with the customizability of widgets if you are just plugging in code. Since you mention PHP, bone up on something like the curl extension and functions for PHP and how to do remote calls to the API. All the Twitter-side docs are there, and just searching google will turn up plenty of helper libraries.
