The tweet that you retweeted appears in your profile on twitter.com but it does not get picked up in the twitter widget you have on your blog or website. This is not a bug in your widget. Twitter counts retweets as not your own tweets so this is counted in tweet counts but it will not show up in your timeline.

files in use: twitter-api.php, style.css, feed.php

Step 1: twitter-api.php

<?php

$login = "TwitterAccountUsername:TwitterAccountPassword"; //username:password

$tweets = "http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline.xml?count=1"; //path to tweets xml files ? number of feed to display

$tw = curl_init();
curl_setopt($tw, CURLOPT_URL, $tweets);
curl_setopt($tw, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $login);
curl_setopt($tw, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);

$twi = curl_exec($tw);
$tweeters = new SimpleXMLElement($twi);
$latesttweets = count($tweeters);

if ($latesttweets<=0) { // if our last is equal or smaller than zero it is a re-tweet then let's display the re-tweet
	$tweets = "http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/retweeted_by_me.xml?count=1"; // path to re-tweets xmlfile ? number of feed to display

	$tw = curl_init();
	curl_setopt($tw, CURLOPT_URL, $tweets);
	curl_setopt($tw, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $login);
	curl_setopt($tw, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);

	$twi = curl_exec($tw);
	$tweeters = new SimpleXMLElement($twi);
	$latesttweets = count($tweeters);

	//echo retweet data

	foreach ($tweeters->status as $twit1) {

	//This finds any links in $description
	$data1 = date("F j, Y G:i",strtotime($twit1->created_at));
	$description = $twit1->text;
	$description = preg_replace("#(^|[\n ])@([^ "\t\n\r<]*)#ise", "'\\1@\\2'", $description);
	$description = preg_replace("#(^|[\n ])([\w]+?://[\w]+[^ "\n\r\t<]*)#ise", "'\\1\\2'", $description);
	$description = preg_replace("#(^|[\n ])((www|ftp)\.[^ "\t\n\r<]*)#ise", "'\\1\\2'", $description);
	echo "<div class='user'>\n";
	echo "<div class='location'>", $twit1->user->url,"</div>";
	echo "<div class='date'>".$data1."</div>";
	echo "<div class='text'>".$description."</div>";
	echo "</div>";
	}

} else {

	//echo tweet data

	foreach ($tweeters->status as $twit1) {

	//This finds any links in $description
	$data1 = date("F j, Y G:i",strtotime($twit1->created_at));
	$description = $twit1->text;
	$description = preg_replace("#(^|[\n ])@([^ "\t\n\r<]*)#ise", "'\\1@\\2'", $description);
	$description = preg_replace("#(^|[\n ])([\w]+?://[\w]+[^ "\n\r\t<]*)#ise", "'\\1\\2'", $description);
	$description = preg_replace("#(^|[\n ])((www|ftp)\.[^ "\t\n\r<]*)#ise", "'\\1\\2'", $description);
	echo "<div class='user'>\n";
	echo "<div class='location'>", $twit1->user->url,"</div>";
	echo "<div class='date'>".$data1."</div>";
	echo "<div class='text'>".$description."</div>";
	echo "</div>";
	}	

}

curl_close($tw);

?>

Step 2: twitter-api.php

body  		{font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size:12px;}
a 		{color:#0054FF;}
a:hover 	{text-decoration:none;}
.date		{font-size:10px; color:#888; padding:0 0 8px 0;}
.text 		{color:#555;}

Step 1 – Data Base Connection

At first we need to connect to database…
File Name: connection.php

<?php
$db = mysql_connect("Database", "username", "password") or die("Could not connect.");

if(!$db) 

	die("no db");

if(!mysql_select_db("Databasename",$db))

 	die("No database selected.");
?>

Step 2 – upload page

Making connection to data base by calling the connection.php, clean the table of its old data, insert new uploaded data into table…
File Name: upload.php

}
#form 			{padding: 20px 150px;}
#form input     {margin-bottom: 20px;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">
<div id="form">

<?php

include "connection.php"; //Connect to Database

$deleterecords = "TRUNCATE TABLE tablename"; //empty the table of its current records
mysql_query($deleterecords);

		readfile($_FILES['filename']['tmp_name']);
	}

	//Import uploaded file to Database
	$handle = fopen($_FILES['filename']['tmp_name'], "r");

	while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
		$import="INSERT into tablename(item1,item2,item3,item4,item5) values('$data[0]','$data[1]','$data[2]','$data[3]','$data[4]')";

		mysql_query($import) or die(mysql_error());
	}

	fclose($handle);

	print "Import done";

	//view upload form
}else {

	print "Upload new csv by browsing to file and clicking on Upload<br />\n";

	print "<form enctype='multipart/form-data' action='upload.php' method='post'>";

	print "File name to import:<br />\n";

	print "<input size='50' type='file' name='filename'><br />\n";

	print "<input type='submit' name='submit' value='Upload'></form>";
