How to style twitter search query within the returned results

[moomoochoo]

I'm hoping this is a simple question.

When I use the code below, my twitter search query appears in BOLD within the returned results. I would like to style the search term differently. I can use CSS to style the avatar, author, and other information within the returned results etc, but I can't figure out how to style the search term ($q) within the returned twitter information. Any help would be much appreciated.

 

 

<?phpclass twitter_class{        function twitter_class()    {        $this->realNamePattern = '/\((.*?)\)/';        $this->searchURL = 'http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?lang=en&q=';                $this->intervalNames   = array('second', 'minute', 'hour', 'day', 'week', 'month', 'year');        $this->intervalSeconds = array( 1,        60,       3600,   86400, 604800, 2630880, 31570560);                $this->badWords = array('somebadword', 'anotherbadword');    }    function getTweets($q, $limit=15)    {        $output = '';        // get the search result        $ch= curl_init($this->searchURL . urlencode($q));        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);        $response = curl_exec($ch);        if ($response !== FALSE)        {            $xml = simplexml_load_string($response);                $output = '';            $tweets = 0;                        for($i=0; $i<count($xml->entry); $i++)            {                $crtEntry = $xml->entry[$i];                $account  = $crtEntry->author->uri;                $image    = $crtEntry->link[1]->attributes()->href;                $tweet    = $crtEntry->content;                    // skip tweets containing banned words                $foundBadWord = false;                foreach ($this->badWords as $badWord)                {                    if(stristr($tweet, $badWord) !== FALSE)                    {                        $foundBadWord = true;                        break;                    }                }                                $tweet = str_replace('<a href=', '<a target="_blank" href=', $tweet);                                // skip this tweet containing a banned word                if ($foundBadWord)                    continue;                // don't process any more tweets if at the limit                if ($tweets==$limit)                    break;                $tweets++;                    // name is in this format "acountname (Real Name)"                preg_match($this->realNamePattern, $crtEntry->author->name, $matches);                $name = $matches[1];                    // get the time passed between now and the time of tweet, don't allow for negative                // (future) values that may have occured if server time is wrong                $time = 'just now';                $secondsPassed = time() - strtotime($crtEntry->published);                if ($secondsPassed>0)                {                    // see what interval are we in                    for($j = count($this->intervalSeconds)-1; ($j >= 0); $j--)                    {                        $crtIntervalName = $this->intervalNames[$j];                        $crtInterval = $this->intervalSeconds[$j];                                                    if ($secondsPassed >= $crtInterval)                        {                            $value = floor($secondsPassed / $crtInterval);                            if ($value > 1)                                $crtIntervalName .= 's';                                                            $time = $value . ' ' . $crtIntervalName . ' ago';                                                        break;                         }                    }                }                                $output .= '                <div class="tweet">                    <div class="avatar">                        <a href="' . $account . '" target="_blank"><img src="' . $image .'"></a>                    </div>                    <div class="message">                        <span class="author"><a href="' . $account . '"  target="_blank">' . $name . '</a></span>: ' .                         $tweet .                         '<span class="time"> - ' . $time .

'</span></div>';                curl_close($ch);        return $output;    }}?>

 

 

The HTML I have been using with this code is here

 

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><title>Twitter</title></head><body><?php  require('twitter.class.php');  $twitter = new twitter_class();  echo $twitter->getTweets('example search term', 10);?></body></html>

 

 

This is not my code. It is from a tutorial that can be accessed from here >> http://www.richnetapps.com/php-twitter-search-parser/

I guess I still need to work on my CSS, as this ended up having a CSS solution (as opposed to a PHP solution).

Thanks for all the pointers!!!
