Use the twitter stream API on PHP to store tweets on a database an retrieve them with jQuery
Original code twitter watch
Changes:
reverse chronological order (prepend instead of append tweets)
no tweet remove when we have more than nine
display avatar,name and difference on date like the ones twitter display
only add when we click de button that counts the new tweets

Store utc date time on mysql

Example of the differences between timezones and the use of a function to convert "date()" and "DateTime()" from utc to another timezone or change "DateTime()" timezone with setTimeZone()

Set timezone:
<?php
$date=new DateTime("NOW"); 
echo $date->format('M j Y g:i:s a e');    //Mar 6 2013 11:14:58 pm Europe/Berlin

$date=new DateTime("NOW", new DateTimeZone('UTC')); 
echo $date->format('M j Y g:i:s a e');    //Mar 6 2013 10:14:58 pm UTC

echo date('M j Y g:i:s a e');            //Mar 6 2013 11:14:58 pm Europe/Berlin

date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
echo date('M j Y g:i:s a e');            //Mar 6 2013 10:14:58 pm UTC
?>

Database Table

Store UTC datetime:
<?php
date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
$date=new DateTime("NOW", new DateTimeZone('UTC')); 
//mysql with date()
$link= mysql_connect('SERVER','USER','PASS');
if(!$link){
   die('Not connected : ' . mysql_error());
}
$db=mysql_select_db('DATABASE', $link);
if(!$db){
   die('Can\'t use database : '.mysql_error());
}
$query=mysql_query("INSERT INTO TABLE (utc_date_time) VALUES ('".date('Y-m-d H:i:s')."')");
if (!$query){
   echo 'Mysql Error: '.mysql_error();
}
mysql_close($link);

//mysqli object oriented with DateTime()
$mysqli= new mysqli('SERVER','USER','PASS','DATABASE');
if ($mysqli->connect_errno) {
    printf("Connect failed: %s\n", $mysqli->connect_error);
    exit();
}
$mysqli->query("INSERT INTO TABLE (utc_date_time) VALUES ('".$date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s')."')");
$mysqli->close();

//mysqli procedural style with date()
$link= mysqli_connect('SERVER','USER','PASS','DATABASE');
if(mysqli_connect_errno()){
    printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
    exit();
}
mysqli_query($link,"INSERT INTO TABLE (utc_date_time) VALUES ('".date('Y-m-d H:i:s')."')");
mysqli_close($link);
?>


Change timezone:
<?php
//date or DateTime,DateTimeZone,format (default mysql datetime format)
function utc_to_local($datetime, $time_zone,$format_string="Y-m-d H:i:s") 
{ 
 if($datetime instanceof DateTime){  //if $datetime is instance of DateTime don't set DateTimeZone
  $date = $datetime;
 }else{  //default DateTimeZone set to UTC
  $date = new DateTime($datetime, new DateTimeZone('UTC')); 
 }
 $date->setTimeZone(new DateTimeZone($time_zone));  //change timezone 
 return $date->format($format_string); 
} 

$date=new DateTime("NOW"); 
echo $date->format('M j Y g:i:s a e');   //Mar 7 2013 12:07:02 am Europe/Berlin
echo utc_to_local($date,'America/Mexico_City','M j Y g:i:s a e'); //Mar 6 2013 5:07:02 pm America/Mexico_City

$date=new DateTime("NOW", new DateTimeZone('UTC'));   
echo $date->format('M j Y g:i:s a e');                   //Mar 6 2013 11:07:02 pm UTC
echo utc_to_local($date,'Asia/Tokyo','M j Y g:i:s a e'); //Mar 7 2013 8:07:02 am Asia/Tokyo

$date=date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
echo $date;                  //2013-03-07 00:07:02

date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
$date=date("Y-m-d H:i:s");   
echo $date;                 //2013-03-06 23:07:02
echo utc_to_local($date,'Europe/London','M j Y g:i:s a e'); //Mar 6 2013 11:07:02 pm Europe/London

$date=date('M j Y g:i:s a e');
echo $date;                 //Mar 6 2013 11:07:02 pm UTC
echo utc_to_local($date,'Antarctica/South_Pole'); //2013-03-07 12:07:02

$date="Mar 6 2013 7:43:12 pm UTC";
echo $date;                //Mar 6 2013 7:43:12 pm UTC
echo utc_to_local($date,'Africa/Lagos'); //2013-03-06 20:43:12
?>
