Hello everyone,
I'm working on my first Twitter-related project and am very excited to
be doing so.

What I'm trying to do is create a site that lists my
"friends_timeline." With that account, I'm following a group of
individuals in a particular industry.

Right now, I've been able to use curl to display the raw XML. Now I'm
struggling to display that data the way I need to.

Here's what I have written.

<blockquote>
<?php
// set user/pswd
$username = '123';
$password = 'abc';

// create a new curl resource
$ch = curl_init();

// set URL and options
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://twitter.com/statuses/
friends_timeline/ACCOUNT+NAME.xml");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$username:$password");

// execute and pass to browser
$str = curl_exec($ch);

// close curl resource
curl_close($ch);

$xml = simplexml_load_string ($str);
foreach ($xml->status as $status) {
    print $status->text . "\n";
}

?></blockquote>

Again, this outputs the last 20 entries in "friends_outline" as XML
just fine, but fails at the array. The following appears immediately
afterward.

<blockquote>
Warning: simplexml_load_string() [function.simplexml-load-string]:
Entity: line 1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found in /
projects/tweets/test/curltest.php on line 20

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /projects/tweets/

I only have rudimentary PHP skills, but I'm a fairly quick study. Any
advice is appreciated!

Thanks in advance for the help!
