TwitterOAuth is abstracted a little bit more.
You can do the following which will us JSON and automatically parse it into
an object.
$content = $connection->get("users/show", array('screen_name' => $NAME);
If you really want to handle the XML parsing yourself you can do the
following
$connection->format = 'xml';
$xml = $connection->get("users/show", array('screen_name' => $NAME);
