tweets on last moments with twitter search api - php

Question

Well, what I'm trying to do is quite obvious. I am receiving tweets as shown below :
$options .= 'q='.urlencode($hash_tag);
$options .= '&page=15';
$options .= '&rpp=100';
$options .= '&result_type=recent';
$url = 'https://search.twitter.com/search.atom?'.$options ;
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
$xml = curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);
$affected = 0;
$twelement = new SimpleXMLElement($xml);
foreach ($twelement->entry as $entry) {
$text = trim($entry->title);
$author = trim($entry->author->name);
$time = strtotime($entry->published);
$id = $entry->id;
echo '<hr>';
echo "Yazan : ".$author;
echo "</br>";
echo "Tarih : ".date('Ymd H:i:s',$time);
echo "</br>";
echo "Tweet : ".$text;
echo "</br>";
}
and as you can check on this link : linkToTrial I can receive tweets. But they are so old for me! I want to receive tweets in last moments, at least in last 5 mins. Here it says
This sounds like something you can do on your end, as created_at is one of the fields returned in the result set. Just do your query, and only use the ones that are within the last 5 seconds.
but when you check my example, you will see that I'm not even receiving the last tweets. Where am I doing wrong? Where?
Any answer will be appreciated. Thanks for your responds.

You're using a deprecated API (search.twitter.com) that will cease functioning on May 7, 2013 -- you'll want to move to the v1.1 Search API -- see https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/get/search/tweet for docs.
It looks like the specific reason you're getting older results with this query is that you're starting on page 15 -- the end of the result set. The most recent tweets will be at the beginning of the result set -- page 1.
In API v1.1, the concept of paging no longer exists for the Search API. Instead, you navigate through the result set using since_id and max_id, details here: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/working-with-timelines
