trying to put a php variable into the code for the "twitter for wordpress" plugin

Question

Hi

I am using the 'twitter for wordpress' plugin to display the last tweet in wordpress. it works fine but needs the username for the twitter account harcoded into the line of code:

<?php 


      twitter_messages('myaccount', 1, false, false, false, true, true, false); 
?>

What im trying to do is replace 'myaccount' with a variable but it doesnt seem to like it. Im getting the variable I want from another function and works fine but tryin to put it into the twitter code wont work:

<?php 
      $twitter = contact_detail('twitter');

      twitter_messages("'".$twitter."'", 1, false, false, false, true, true, false); 
?>

At first the function producing the variable was echoing the value but iv changed it to return it but it has not helped.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Don't do that. You don't need the double quotes. Just say

twitter_messages($twitter, 1, false, false, false, true, true, false);
