Get Twitter feed and display information using SimpleXML - php

Question

Based on the thread With PHP preg_match_all, get value of href, I'm trying to get some information from a twitter feed.
Here is the feed url (for testing purpose): Twitter feed
Here is my code:
function parse_feed($process) {
$xml = #simplexml_load_string($process);
$findTweet = $xml['entry'];
return $findTweet;
}
$username = 'tweet';
$feed = "http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=from:" . $username . "&rpp=2";
$feed = file_get_contents($feed);
//echo $feed;
print_r(parse_feed($feed));
I never used SimpleXML before or worked with XML.
Can someone help me please?

Okay Founf it!, here is the solution for who is interested...
Thanks to m1k3y02 for the docs!
function parse_feed($process) {
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($process);
$n=0;
foreach($xml->entry as $entry) {
$tweets[$n] = array($entry->published,$entry->content);
$n++;
}
return $tweets;
}
$twitter_username = 'tweet';
$twitter_entries = 5;
$feed = "http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=from:" . $twitter_username . "&rpp=".$twitter_entries;
$feed = file_get_contents($feed);
$tweets = parse_feed($feed);
$n=0;
$n_t = count($tweets);
while($n < $n_t) {
echo "<div class=\"tweet\"><img src=\"img/tweet.png\" valign=\"absmiddle\" /> ";
echo $tweets[$n][1][0];
echo "</div>";
echo "<div class=\"date\">".$tweets[$n][0][0]."</div>";
$n++;
}
