How to extract Twitter post photo from user RSS using PHP

Question

I have simple Zend PHP application that will only fetch public posts from given channel using it's RSS link. I dont want to use OAuth method to save time. But the question is: can I substrack somehow the post image?

Or will have to use OAuth? If Yes, will everyone have to authorize just to read public posts?

This is simple RSS item:

Yes, but the link forwards to another webpage not raw image (and i need raw image to display it in tag). – Bartosz Rychlicki Mar 05 '12 at 13:38
You need to use the twitter api to get the raw image url. – Shiplu Mokaddim Mar 05 '12 at 13:42
