Which is most prefered and lightweight way to show your Last Tweet using php?

I need to Display Last Tweet on a web-page and want to control the styling of tweet from CSS. What is the good way to do this and Tweet should also be seen even if Javascript is disabled.

Page is on PHP server.

Edit

I just want to show last tweet on a page like this.

<div id="last-tweet">
<p>Content of tweet here</p>
</div>

Building on Jonah's answer, here's how to do the exact same but automatically link to other mentioned users and links:

$api_url = 'http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=YOURUSERNAME';
$twitter_data = file_get_contents($api_url);
$twitter_data = json_decode($twitter_data);
$tweet = '<div id="last-tweet"><p>' . $twitter_data[0]->text . '</p></div>';

// Turn URLs into links
$tweet = preg_replace('@(https?://([-\w\.]+)+(:\d+)?(/([\w/_\.]*(\?\S+)?)?)?)@', '<a href="$1">$1</a>', $tweet);

// Turn @replies into links
$tweet = preg_replace("/@([0-9a-zA-Z]+)/", "<a href=\"http://twitter.com/$1\">@$1</a>", $tweet);

echo $tweet;

With the Twitter REST API.

$api_url = 'http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=USERNAME';
$twitter_data = file_get_contents($api_url);
$twitter_data = json_decode($twitter_data);
echo '<div id="last-tweet"><p>' . $twitter_data[0]->text . '</p></div>';

Replace USERNAME with your username.
