stockgrabber

hello

can you build me a real time stock quote grabber for prices from international markets?

i need something that will auto update and provide real time quotes and if possible charts.

can it be done, pm me if you can do it i'll be happy to provide more info

 

You can code it in php or perl but you need to post it in buy and sell->service->programming

 

Dude, I'm sure you can download something like this? Have you looked around the net?

 

If you aware of PHP and AJAX you could use the following function:

function get_string_between($string, $start, $end)

{

$string = " ".$string;
$ini = strpos($string,$start);

if($ini == 0)

return "";
$ini += strlen($start);
$len = strpos($string,$end,$ini) - $ini;
return substr($string,$ini,$len);

}

$stockmarketsite = file_get_contents("http://stockmarket.com");

get_string_between($stockmarketsite,"<div id='startoffigures'>","</div>");

PHP:

of course youd have to edit the get_string_between to the right details but hopefully youll get the idea
And use ajax to update it every so often and include that page

 

thanks for the feedback guys -
