reffael Posted February 18, 2004 Posted February 18, 2004 can i offer an improvement to the function, i think it's faster to use the oanda protocol instead of getting an html file and look for patterns in it. well those are my 2 cents :) have a good day. function quote_oanda_currency($code,$base=DEFAULT_CURRENCY) { $err_num=$err_msg=""; $s=fsockopen("www.oanda.com", 5011, &$err_num, &$err_msg, 3); if (!$s) { echo "$err_msg ($err_num)<br>\n"; $resp=""; } else { fputs($s,"fxp/1.1\r\nbasecurrency: $base\r\nquotecurrency: $code\r\n\r\n"); $resp=fgets($s,128); if (trim($resp)=="fxp/1.1 200 ok") { while ($resp!="\r\n") { $resp=fgets($s,128); } if(!$resp=fgets($s,128)) { // timeout? then skip $resp=""; } print "$resp\n"; } else { $resp=""; } } fclose($s); return trim($resp); } the current version of this function : function quote_oanda_currency($code, $base = DEFAULT_CURRENCY) { $page = file('http://www.oanda.com/convert/fxdaily?value=1&redirected=1&exch=' . $code . '&format=CSV&dest=Get+Table&sel_list=' . $base); $match = array(); preg_match('/(.+),(\w{3}),([0-9.]+),([0-9.]+)/i', implode('', $page), $match); if (sizeof($match) > 0) { return $match[3]; } else { return false; } } what do u think? i haven't look at the xe service but maybe they have their own protocol.
Harald Ponce de Leon Posted February 18, 2004 Posted February 18, 2004 Is this the right service? http://www.oanda.com/channels/business/FXP.shtml If yes, an account is needed as part of the terms and conditions. , osCommerce
reffael Posted February 18, 2004 Author Posted February 18, 2004 well it's a shame if now they are taking money for this service, i took this function from an article published in 2001, and there is no reference to a payment for the service. the article (from zend web site): http://www.zend.com/zend/tut/currency-exchange.php at least osC is still free :) yap, after checking they want money, even a lot of money "How to Subscribe to FXP?
