Print info from .csv file.

For a currency converter.

Yahoo has a .csv file (http://download.finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=USDMXN=X&f=sl1d1t1ba&e=.csv), which at the moment looks like this:

"USDMXN=X",11.087,"3/21/2007","5:49am",11.037,11.137

I need to pull the information from the second and third places:
11.087 and 3/21/2007

What I'd like to do is be able to multiply the 11.087 by whatever number I choose and round it to the nearest cent.


Example:

Your Price: $29.95 (332.06 pesos)


29.95 x 11.087 = 332.05565


Is this something that I can do entirely with PHP or do I need JS? And how can this be done?

:)

Could try

// fopen etc here
$splitted = explode(",",$file);
echo $splitted[0] * $number .' ';
echo round($splitted[1],2);

LOL!

That's not enough of a hint for me to work with this late in the morning.

Can ya help a brotha out? :D

Ohh ok sorry lol Assumed you knew.

Give me a few mins

<?php
$filelocation = "quotes.csv";
$number = 20;
$handle = fopen($filelocation,"r");
$splitted = fgetcsv($handle, filesize($filelocation), ",");
echo 'Price: '.round($splitted[1]*$number,2).' ';
echo 'Date: '.$splitted[2];
?>

That should work. $number is how much you want the amount multiplied by

That one is not finding information when I direct it to yahoo's page.

Warning: filesize() [function.filesize]: Stat failed for http ://quote.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=&f=sl1d1t1c1ohgv&e=.csv (errno=2 - No such file or directory) in curr2test.php on line 5

Line 5: $splitted = fgetcsv($handle, filesize($filelocation), ",");

Code as I have it:

<?php
$filelocation = "http://quote.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=$ticker&f=sl1d1t1c1ohgv&e=.csv";
$number = 20;
$handle = fopen($filelocation,"r");
$splitted = fgetcsv($handle, filesize($filelocation), ",");
echo 'Price: '.round($splitted[1]*$number,2).' ';
echo 'Date: '.$splitted[2];
?>




Interestingly enough, someone else is looking for the same thing:

Ahh ok, sorry didn't realise you was getting it straight from the site, thought you was downloading it then wanting it read.


<?php
$filelocation = "http://download.finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=USDMXN=X&f=sl1d1t1ba&e=.csv";
$number = 20;
$handle = fopen($filelocation,"r");
$splitted = fgetcsv($handle, 2000, ",");
echo 'Price: '.round($splitted[1]*$number,2).' ';
echo 'Date: '.$splitted[2];
?>

That works! Thank you. :)

I noticed that this yahoo information is updated live, so I also included the time from their .csv file (I may change that later). Here's the result:

<?php
$filelocation = "http://download.finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=USDMXN=X&f=sl1d1t1ba&e=.csv";
$handle = fopen($filelocation,"r");
$splitted = fgetcsv($handle, 2000, ",");
?>


<?php
echo '<style>td {font-size:10px; text-align:center;} </style>';
echo '<table style="border:1px solid #000000; width:200px;"><tr><td colspan=2 style="border-bottom:1px solid #000000;">1 US Dollar = '.($splitted[1]*1).' Mexican Pesos</td></tr>';
echo '<tr><td>Date: '.$splitted[2]. '</td><td>';
echo 'Time: '.$splitted[3]. '</td></tr></table>';
?>


Price: $19.99 <?php echo '<span style="font-size:10px;">('.round($splitted[1]*19.99,2).' Pesos)</span>'; ?>

I'm trying something similar. Doesn't work. /quote.php?symbol=msft

Help. Thx


<?php

$symbol = str_replace(",", "+", $symbol);

$url = "http://download.finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=$symbol&f=sl1d1t1c1ohgv&e=.csv";
$fp = fopen($url , "r");
while (!feof($fp)) {
$data[] = fgetcsv($fp,1000,",");
}
fclose($fp);

array_splice ($data, -1);

$count = 1;

print "<div align=\"center\"><table border=\"0\" bgcolor=\"#4A8EB3\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"3\"><tr><td><table width=\"500\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"3\">\n";

print "<tr bgcolor=\"#4A8EB3\"><td align=\"center\"><font face=\"Arial\" color=\"#ffffff\" size=\"2\"><b>Symbol</b></font></td><td align=\"center\"><font face=\"Arial\" color=\"#ffffff\" size=\"2\"><b>Price</b></font></td><td align=\"center\"><font face=\"Arial\" color=\"#ffffff\" size=\"2\"><b>Date</b></font></td><td align=\"center\"><font face=\"Arial\" color=\"#ffffff\" size=\"2\"><b>Time</b></font></td><td align=\"center\"><font face=\"Arial\" color=\"#ffffff\" size=\"2\"><b>Change</b></font></td><td align=\"center\"><font face=\"Arial\" color=\"#ffffff\" size=\"2\"><b>Open</b></font></td><td align=\"center\"><font face=\"Arial\" color=\"#ffffff\" size=\"2\"><b>High</b></font></td><td align=\"center\"><font face=\"Arial\" color=\"#ffffff\" size=\"2\"><b>Low</b></font></td><td align=\"center\"><font face=\"Arial\" color=\"#ffffff\" size=\"2\"><b>Volume</b></font></td></tr>\n";

foreach ($data as $number => $data)
{

if ($count % 2) {


print "<tr bgcolor=\"#ffffff\">";
foreach ($data as $value)
{
print "<td align=\"center\"><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">$value</font></td>";
}
print "</tr>";


} else {


print "<tr bgcolor=\"#EEEEEE\">";
foreach ($data as $value)
{
print "<td align=\"center\"><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">$value</font></td>";
}
print "</tr>";

}

$count++;

}

print "</table></td></tr></table></div>";

?>

What does it do? You could use curl instead, I'm just not sure how fopen retrieves files, if use can use variables in the url or not?
