Twitter status stopped working

Question

Hi I've been using this code to display my status on a site

$doc = new DOMDocument();

# load the RSS
if($doc->load('http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/12345678.rss')) {

# number of tweets to display.  20 is the maximum
$max_tweets = 3;    

$i = 1;
foreach ($doc->getElementsByTagName('item') as $node) {
# fetch the title from the RSS feed. 
$tweet = $node->getElementsByTagName('title')->item(0)->nodeValue;
$date = $node->getElementsByTagName('pubDate')->item(0)->nodeValue;
$link = $node->getElementsByTagName('link')->item(0)->nodeValue;

# the title of each tweet starts with "username: " which I want to remove
$tweet = substr($tweet, stripos($tweet, ':') + 1);
if(preg_match('/^\s*@([0-9a-zA-Z]+)/', $tweet))
    continue;
$date = date("dS F Y", strtotime($date));  

# Turn URLs into links
$tweet = preg_replace('@(https?://([-\w\.]+)+(:\d+)?(/([\w/_\.]*(\?\S+)?)?)?)@', 
'<a href="$1">$1</a>', $tweet);

# Turn @replies into links
#$tweet = preg_replace("/@([0-9a-zA-Z]+)/", 
#"<a href=\"http://twitter.com/$1\"&gt;@$1&lt;/a&gt;", 
#$tweet);

# Turn & into &amp;     
$tweet = preg_replace('@&@', 
'&amp;', $tweet);

if($i%2 == 0) {
echo "<div class=\"three-col center\"><p>". $tweet  . "<br /><span class=\"quiet\"><a href=\"". $link ."\">". $date ."</a></span></p></div>\n";
}
else {
echo "<div class=\"three-col\"><p>". $tweet  . "<br /><span class=\"quiet\"><a href=\"". $link ."\">". $date ."</a></span></p></div>\n";
}

if($i++ >= $max_tweets) break;
}
}

Its been working fine until recently! these are the errors I'm seeing...

Yours thoughts are much appreciated

This sounds as if your server cannot find twitter.com Maybe some DNS problem? Can you reach twitter.com from your server using other tools, e.g. wget or curl?
