Currently i use something like this. But as you can see from below it only gets the status and not the timeline of the user.
$status = file_get_contents("https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/oembed.json?url=".$links[$j]);
$stats = json_decode($status);
//$string = "https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/oembed.json?url=".$links[$j];
if(isset($stats->errors))
{
}
else
$string=str_replace($links[$j],''.$links[$j].'',$string).$stats->html;
}

You can't get the html of users timeline, like you are getting it for status.
There is no end point with oembed available for users profile.
But you can easily build it yourself by following these steps.
Register an application
Get the API keys and access token
Use some library for PHP from these listed in this page Twitter Libraries, I would prefer going with the abraham's library
Get the user details by making request to this URL:
https://api.twitter.com/1.1/users/show.json?screen_name=[screen_name]
*Note: Twitter API v1 is deprecated so use API v1.1 for making requests
Fetch the JSON response and render it in your html code
