    $clean = explode("<content type=\"html\">", $feed);

    $amount = count($clean) - 1;

    $output = $prefix;

    for ($i = 1; $i <= $amount; $i++) {
        $cleaner = explode("</content>", $clean[$i]);
        $output .= $tweetprefix;
        $output .= $cleaner[0];
        $output .= $tweetsuffix;
    }

    $output .= $suffix;

    return $output;
}

    $limit = "5"; // Number of tweets to fetch.

    /* These prefixes and suffixes will display before and after the entire block of tweets. */
    $prefix = ""; // Prefix - some text you want displayed before all your tweets.

Most likely your the_twitter_feed() function echoes results instead of returning them.
