Accessing my twitter stream via php

    I want to access the tweets of everyone I'm following in php. I thought I had it sorted by adding everyone I was following to a list and using - http://twiterlist2rss.appspot.com/ to convert that list to RSS, then parsed it with php - sorted, or so I thought!

    Unfortunately twiterlist2rss goes up and down like a lady of the nights under garment !! ;-) It seems to be over quota more often than not so I could go hours getting retrieving nothing.

    Does any one know of examples of alternative ways to do this?

    I'm finding loads of ways of retrieving your own tweets or searching for a specific hash tag but nothing to access the stream of the people you are following..

    Any help really appreciated!

    So you want twitter but on your own site?

    Something makes me think Twitter would be against people being able to do this as it gets you away from their site.

    Just keep in mind that to access a feed like that, you'll need to register with Twitter to get an app id and use OAuth to sign into Twitter on your PHP page.

    Thanks guys, you were spot on! However I was able to find a handier way by streaming a list using yahoo pipes... saved me th hassle of having to register with twitter and all that!
