This code pulls a json of a hashtag search from twitter. It runs some functions to add to a database. (functions not included.)

global $total, $hashtag;

$hashtag = '#somehashtag';
$total = 0;

function getTweets($hash_tag, $page) {
	global $total, $hashtag;
	$url = 'http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q='.urlencode($hash_tag).'&';
	$url .= 'page='.$page;    
	$ch = curl_init($url);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
	$json = curl_exec($ch);
	curl_close ($ch);
	
	$json_decode = json_decode($json);
	
	$json_output = json_decode($json,true);
	
	for($c=0;$c<=count($json_decode->results);$c++){
		if(isset($json_output['results'][$c]['id_str'])){
			if(!tweet_exists($json_output['results'][$c]['id_str'])){
				add_tweet($json_output['results'][$c]['id_str'],
						  $json_output['results'][$c]['from_user'],
						  $json_output['results'][$c]['created_at'],
						  $json_output['results'][$c]['profile_image_url'],
						  $json_output['results'][$c]['text']);
			}
		}
	}
	
	if($json_decode->next_page){
		$temp = explode("&",$json_decode->next_page);        
		$p = explode("=",$temp[0]);                
		getTweets($hashtag,$p[1]);
