twitter feeds on iphone home screen

[wanted]

Hi

I wanted to try and write a nifty little php script, using the twitter api, to display the user timeline(or atleast the last feed from the user timeline) on the home screen whenever it is locked. It is pretty similar to the server lock example that comes built in with winterboard. Basically the server lock example fetches a php page, and rest everything else is done by the php script. Now i have seen a couple of similar project on the internet, but nothing small and fast.

I am just not sure where to begin really(i'm not black belt in php), i have seen other people's code, but i wanna built the whole script from scratch.

Help appreciated.
