The following code should take the xml feed from Twitter and echo the results.
<?php
$xml = simplexml_load_file('https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline/QuiteCheesedOff.xml?count=6');
$tweets = $xml->xpath("/statuses/status");
foreach($tweets as $tweet) {
$text = $tweet->text;
$date = $tweet->created_at;
echo '<div>' . $text . '</div>' . '<b>' . $date . '</b>';
}
?>
Instead it returns this.
Warning: simplexml_load_file(https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline/QuiteCheesedOff.xml?count=6) [function.simplexml-load-file]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed!

You might try using DOMDocument->load( $url ). The URL for the Twitter feed is also available without SSL, try that if SSL gives you grief and you don't need the secure version.
