Data retrieval


Dear All

I remember hearing somewhere that it was possible to retrieve data from public databases that I could include on my website. I am specifically interested in FTSE 100 stock prices. I seem to recall that it was possible to get this sort of information from yahoo/google using PHP.

Does anybody know if this is correct? If so could you point me in the right direction?

Best Regards

Philip

jrobbio will become famous soon enough
Do you mean like an XML RSS news feed where the information is continually updated without having to do much?

Here's a ticker that may be helpful:

Cheers jrobbio

I am not sure what an 'XML RSS news feed' is. The site you directed me to is the sort of thing that I want, just I would like to be able to break the information do and display it differently. What I want to do is send a ticker symbol and get the price back. I confess that I havn't gone all the way through that page yet. Could you tell me what this process is called, just so I can do some more intelligent searching.

Regards

Phil
