Thank you. I was buried in code all day I just came up for air.

WP is finicky about scripts in comments because of all the cross-site scripting hacks I’m impressed you got it to take.

I stopped using it because if twitter.com went down it makes the website load too slowly to be useful. PHP has a long built in timeout.

Do you know any way to shorten that timeout?

No, sorry, doesn’t want to paste properly into the comments box.

Here’s my updated code:

channel->item;
for($a=0;$a $tweet = $tweets{$a};
echo "”.utf8_decode(preg_replace(
array( “@https?\://[a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,3}(/\S*)?@i”,
“@#([a-zA-Z0-9]+)@i”,
“@\@([a-zA-Z0-9]+)@i”),
array( “$0“,
“$0“,
“$0“),
substr(stristr($tweet->description,’: ‘), 2)));
echo ” link.”\”>#“;
// echo $tweet->pubDate; // if you want to show the date/time
}
?>
