Re Twitter your twitter feed

knocked up a quick function to put the links back into my twitter feed, after i pull it down using their API.

it will take the text you input and create links around the @<username> #Hashtags and any links i.e.  twitpic's etc.  Not rocket science but could save you 30minutes of trying to get your head around regex again.


function _twittertext($tweets) {
$tweets = preg_replace('/http:\/\/([\\d\\w.\/]+)/', '<a href="http://$1">http://$1</a>', $tweets);
$tweets = preg_replace('#@([\\d\\w]+)#', '<a href="http://twitter.com/$1">$0</a>', $tweets);
$tweets = preg_replace('/#([\\d\\w]+)/', '<a href="http://twitter.com/#search?q=%23$1">$0</a>', $tweets);
return $tweets;
}
