Virtual Stock Exchange/Market

Discussion in 'PHP' started by zeoed, Aug 18, 2010.

    I came to this website as I thought it was the best place for me to start. What I would like to do is create a website/web page like this one http://robloxhq.com/index.php?/stocks/ I have the database set up and the page ready (http://thecrown.comuf.com/Stock_Market/) My database structure for the stocks look like this:

    [​IMG]

    Is there any free PHP script that can interact with MySQL database and do what the RobloxHQ website can do?

    (Please be mature, I am only asking for little help on where I can find a script to do this. I have searched google and have found no good results.)

    Thanks in advance for your help. It is much appreciated.

    i think you need a custom php script made for that one,
    a free script maybe lies one but you need to adjust the table design with the free ones :)

    Just for clarification: You want a virtual stock exchange with its own prices, and that is not related to the actual stock market? So you basically have a kind of stock market game. Is that correct?

    My advice would be to ditch the database you pictured above, and look for a script first. It will come with its own database structure included.

    @Thomas, exactly.
    This is close to what I need, but it won't run on my site as it uses JSP.

    Remove the []

    Why does JSP require the specific database structure you posted above? You basically already coded the site, and now you need a script to fill the database? So you need a script that fetches the current stock prices from somewhere, and saves it into the database? I don't think there is a free script that does that for you. I might be able to help you develop such a script... please PM me for further information on that.

    you can do what your looking for with what you already have started.

    and then use a bit of ajax to make the stocks simulate real time movement.
    and a cron job ran to increase and decrease the market prices.
