Show latest tweets

I've once used something like this. Not sure if it's the best way to go about it, but I needed a quick and dirty solution at the time.

Code:

function twitter_feed($user) {
    $rss_file = 'http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/'.$user.'.xml';
    $rss_feed = @file_get_contents($rss_file);
        
    if($rss_feed) {
            
        $xml = simplexml_load_string($rss_feed);
        $return = array();
        foreach($xml as $status) {
            $return[] = array(
                'datetime' => $status->created_at,
                'text' => $status->text,
                'source' => $status->source
            );
        }

    }
    else $return = 'Twitter feed not found';

    return $return;
}

Guess this should get you started. Any suggestions on this code are very welcome of course.
