    Brief:
    I have 2 feeds from 2 different websites. The feeds are the share prices of companies (200-300 in total). One of the feeds is Yahoo Finance, the other will be provided.

    What I need:
    A website tool which will scan the sites (refresh every minute) and show the difference in the share price.

    IE.
    Yahoo Fianance:
    Company 1 - $3.60
    Other Source
    Company 1 - $3.50

    The tool should then say:
    Company 1 - +$0.10 difference (% of different in brackets here)

    The tool should show all of the share prices on the same page, in order of the difference percentage (the higher the percentage of change, the higher on the page it is)

    Misc
    I'm unsure what language is best for this, but I'm guessing javascript or PHP? Please post here with your quote and any other information.
    Thanks

    When you say feeds, do you mean XML or RSS or are you wanting to scrape the content from a webpage.

    If its XML or RSS, PHP is probably the better route to go. See the link in my signature for my programming services. I'd need more information before I could provide a definite quote.

    I also think that PHP would be good for this and I could do it for around 30$
