Twitter XML data into PHP variables to be used in a table
===

I'm pretty new to coding and wanted to try and build a twitter app for my website. I got the following code to work, but I know there is a better way of doing it... I just don't know how (possibly printing out the data into an array and then into a table with a foreach statement?). I'd really appreciate if someone can point me in the right direction. Basically, what I'm looking to do is parse the XML and create variables that I can call/print out automatically instead of having to do it so manually (the way I'm doing it now). 

Thanks!
