PHP get correct data out of twitter array

Question

I have made a script that searches for specific twitter tweets. The problem is that it displays the whole array, and I want to display only the username and the tweet.

function searchHashtag($search,$count){
    $consumerKey = "xxx";
    $consumerSecret = "xxx";
    $oauthAccessToken = "xxx";
    $oauthAccessTokenSecret = "xxx";

    $twitter = new TwitterOAuth($consumerKey, $consumerSecret, $oauthAccessToken, $oauthAccessTokenSecret);

    $url = "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json";
    $tweetArray = array();
    $parameters = array('q' => $search, 'result_type' => 'recent', 'count' => $count);
    $tweets = $twitter->get($url,$parameters);

    foreach($tweets->statuses as $tweet){
        $tweetArray[] = array('text'=>$tweet->text, 'username'=>$tweet->user->name);
    }
    return $tweetArray;
}

$landbouw = searchHashtag($searchlandbouw,$countlandbouw);
var_dump($landbouw);

I know I can use return $tweetArray[1][1]; Then it displays only the username, but it also displays the amount of characters. Is there a easy way to display only the username and tweet, one by one?

Can I see the array structure? Print echo "<pre>"; print_r($tweetArray); echo "</pre>"; & Paste it on pastebin.com & share the url. — Jenson M John

What's the problem? You can loop through array or do you have any issue for looping that array? — Jenson M John

The problem is that i can't get the data out of that array. When I use the return function, it displays a lot more data then in the url I just send you. It displays if the context is a string or an integer, how many characters there are used etc. I just want to see the username and the tweet, nothing more, nothing less. But I am unable to do that. (I'm new to php, and i'm trying some stuff out) — Reptar

If your array structure is exactly like in http://pastebin.com/EugQDvE8. You can apply for loop in $landbouw to get the username and the tweet.

Just try with this.

for($i=0;$i<count($landbouw);$i++)
{
  echo "Tweet : ".$landbouw[$i]['text']."<br/>";
  echo "Username : ".$landbouw[$i]['username']."<br/><br/>";
}

It is axactly like that. But it won't work. I get a blank page if I use that code. Can't see other content either.

For getting the response data (array output), Have you assigned the function call searchHashtag(param1,param2) to a variable?

@bbvanee why there is a ` @ the end? Typo?

I'll try it now. Does placement matter?

Still, it doesn't work. I do see my other content. but it displays nothing. And when I comment the return $tweetArray, I get a NULL, maybe that says something?
