   This plug-in is exactly what I need. I installed it on a client's site and the very first tweet they made contained quotation marks. When the tweet appeared on their website, all the quote marks were replaced with &quot

   Is there a switch of some kind I can flip to fix this?

   I fixed this by assigning the value of $return_data['status'] to a variable and then running htmlspecialchars_decode

   The full code as displayed in my template file is something like this:

   $return_data = simple_twitter_data('user=mytwittername&data=name,status,image,relative');
   $thenewtweet = $return_data['status'];
   $thenewtweet = htmlspecialchars_decode($thenewtweet);
   echo '<p class="fptweeter"><b><a href="http://twitter.com/#!/mytwittername" target=_blank>MyTwitterName</a></b> Latest Tweet [' . $return_data['relative'] . '] </p><p class="fptweet"> ' . $thenewtweet . '</p.>'

   It seems to work

   Thanks for letting me know - I'll add this fix to the next release.

   I've now released version 2 which fixes this. However, htmlspecialchars_decode limits the plugin to PHP 5, so I've used my own function to achieve it instead.
