    Hi everyone, I'm writing a currency converter script but I'm looking for any website that they provide an update currecncy exchange rate including a Tongan pa'anga (TOP) currency.

    I did search on google and no luck:(

    If you know, then please let me know.

    Thank you.

    the best currency conversion site out there is xe.com without any doubt. And if the currency you're looking for isn't listed there then most probably it doesn't exist.

    There's a converter but thats it. I just google'd it and I can't find any place that gives you an .xml of the current currency free.

    I know that zen-cart uses xe.com derived exchange rates, and it doesn't cost any money.

    However it does require that the admin update the figures manually, all you have to is press a button, but manual is manual.

    Maybe if you download zen-cart and read through the code, you can figure how to do the same thing, and even automate it to update whenever it's used (or perhaps, if it hasn't been used 6 hours prior to the request, wuld be more efficient).

    Zen cart can be a bastard to read through the code of, but it's free and open source, so you might as well give it a lash.
