Small class-based php program to grab the latest stocks (specified in the url [stock.php?symbols=YHOO,MSFT,etc...]). I forget where I got the original source from, but I edited it to enhance a small section of my website. Enjoy :)

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]
<?php

// Code by:   Don Wilson

// Edited:     October 24, 2003

class stock

{

        function getLastTrade($symbol)

        {

                $file = fopen("http://quote.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s={$symbol}&f=sl1d1t1c1ohgv&e=.csv", "r");

                        $read = fread($file, 2000);

                        fclose($file);

                $read = str_replace(""", "", $read);

                $read = explode(",", $read);

                return $read[1];

        }



        function getChange($symbol)

        {

                $file = fopen("http://quote.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s={$symbol}&f=sl1d1t1c1ohgv&e=.csv", "r");

                        $read = fread($file, 2000);

                        fclose($file);

                $read = str_replace(""", "", $read);

                $read = explode(",", $read);

                return $read[4];

        }



        function getDateClosed($symbol)

        {

                $file = fopen("http://quote.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s={$symbol}&f=sl1d1t1c1ohgv&e=.csv", "r");

                        $read = fread($file, 2000);

                        fclose($file);

                $read = str_replace(""", "", $read);

                $read = explode(",", $read);

                return $read[2] . " " . $read[3];

        }



}



$stock = new Stock();



echo "<pre>\n";

if(isset($symbols))

{

        $symbols = explode(",", $symbols);

        foreach($symbols as $symbol)

        {

        $change = $stock->getChange($symbol);

        if($change < 0)

          $change = "<font color=red>{$change}</font>";

        elseif($change > 0)

          $change = "<font color=green>{$change}</font>";

        else

          $change = "0.00";

         

                echo "Symbol:                   " . $symbol                                                                             . "\n";

                echo "Last Trade:               " . $stock->getLastTrade($symbol)               . "\n";

                echo "Change:                   " . $change                     . "\n";

                echo "Date Closed:              " . $stock->getDateClosed($symbol)      . "\n";

                echo "\n";

        }

}

echo "</pre>\n";

?>

Phice, do you know how legal it would be to use these stocks/prices in a game that makes profit?

you can use them as entropy data for seeding randoms pretty easy.. however using them straight.. I dunno.. need to talk to a lawyer, but I'd guess it's "okay"

Thank you so much for this. I am a real amateur .. I found a stock ticker online, for a client who wanted it on a website I am building - here is the code:


It works great, but is missing the code to get the actual stock info. Can I use your script to modify this? If so, could I trouble you to tell me where to add it into this code? Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for this. I am a real amateur .. I found a stock ticker online, for a client who wanted it on a website I am building - here is the code:
<?php
///// Replace with Yahoo Finance stock quotes of your choice //////
$raw_stock_data = array('AAPL 200 205',
'BIDU 500 510','RIMM 150 155', 'SNDK 70 72',
'GOOG 500 510','MSFT 30 32','AMD 9 10');
sort($raw_stock_data);
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
?>
<div align="center">
<marquee bgcolor="#e0e1e1" direction="left" loop="20" width="100%%">
<?php
foreach ($raw_stock_data as $value) {
$results = explode(' ',$value);

$ticker = $results[0];
$buy = $results[1];
$sell = $results[2];

echo "<font color=\"#ffffff\">$ticker </font>";
echo "<font color=\"#00ff00\">$buy </font>";
echo "<font color=\"#ff0000\">$sell </font>";
echo "&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;";
}
?>
It works great, but is missing the code to get the actual stock info. Can I use your script to modify this? If so, could I trouble you to tell me where to add it into this code? Thank you so much!

I put it all together into a ticker with live quotes. You can see (and run) the code here:
