Inserting PHP Twitter aggregation in footer help

[clayton47]

I have a simple php script for twitter aggregation that I want to embed into the footer of my vbulletin site. I am very familiar with code, but its not displaying. It just shows the code like it wasn't wrapped in php tags. So I tried to create a php widget, and it displayed above the header of the site, and showed some errors referring to lines of code in its config file. I have the script working on a plain php page outside of vbulletin on the same server and it doesn't show any errors.

Does anyone know why it would not work correctly while inserted into the vbulletin site? All I am wanting to do is show some specific users latest tweets on my site. But displaying using php not javascript.

I had posted on vbulletin.com but they told me to post here.

Thanks for any help!
