I think the XML parser will choke on the headers that are being returned from your curl_exec.
Try setting this instead: curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false); You'll also want to set this: curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); so that the XML is actually stored in $str when curl_exec returns; Try that out, -Chad On Wed, Jan 7, 2009 at 6:29 PM, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: > > 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."
