Wow… nice to know, it is this much easy…
I will request you to show something like this simply for non-wordpress users, as I am not good in PHP.

Thanks Richard… you rock!!

It’d be better to use the Twitter API. SimpleXML is an ideal way of achieving this in PHP.

$username = “The name of your twitter account”;
if (!$xml=simplexml_load_file(“http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/followers/”.$username.”.xml”)) //load the XML file with your user info in
{
echo “Could not Read XML File”; //Error checking
}
else //if the XML file can be accessed
{
$followers = $xml->user->followers_count; //get how many followers you have
echo $followers; //and output it
}

@Mustafa Namo?lu

That will work but without any form of caching it will check count on every page load. Increases page latency and can quickly exhaust Twitter API requests limit. Not recommended.

To make it work for non-wp pages;

$tw = array();
$tw["twitterfollowerscount"] = 0;
if($tw['lastcheck'] (.*)
