Twitter API Callback Tutorial
The Twitter API includes a callback function you use to display tweets in your website layout. You can display your latest tweets or tweets from other followers or users on your Web page. You use PHP to retrieve the list of tweets and display them in a specified container. The Twitter API handles all of the necessary searches, so you just need to display the results on your page.
