Posted by Zain Nadeem in Freelancing / outsourcing, Web DevelopmentJul 13th, 2010 | No Commentsfew days back i coded a small script to show stock ups and downs ticker , script fetches data from yahoo finance and scrolls the ticker , you can use this script on on Joomla (tested on joomla 1.5) and all versions of wordpress .
How to use the script
<marquee id=”m1″ onmouseover=”this.stop();” onmouseout=”this.start();” truespeed=”" scrollamount=”2.4″ scrolldelay=”50″ direction=”left” loop=”repeat” width=”70%”>
<?phpfunction getStockSite($stockLink){
if ($fp = fopen($stockLink, ‘r’)) {
$content = ”;while ($line = fread($fp, 1024)) {
$content .= $line;
}
}return $content;
}function processStockSite($wurl){
$wrss = getStockSite($wurl);
$name = ‘-’;
$price = ”;
$diff = ”;if (strlen($wrss)>100){
$spos = 0;// Get text
$spos = strpos($wrss,’</span>:’,$spos)+3;
$spos = strpos($wrss,’<big>’,$spos);
$epos = strpos($wrss,’</div><h1>’,$spos);
if ($epos>$spos){
$text = substr($wrss,$spos,$epos-$spos);
} else {
$text = ‘-’;
}$spos = $epos + 10;
// Get company name
$epos = strpos($wrss,’<’,$spos);
if ($epos>$spos){
$name = substr($wrss,$spos,$epos-$spos);
}
// Get actual price
$spos = strpos($wrss,’yfs_l10′)+strlen(’yfs_l10′);
$spos = strpos($wrss,’>’,$spos)+1;
$epos = strpos($wrss,’<’,$spos);
if ($epos>$spos){
$price = substr($wrss,$spos,$epos-$spos);
} else {
$price = ‘-’;
}// Get direction
$spos = strpos($wrss,’alt’,$epos)+strlen(’alt’)+2;
$epos = strpos($wrss,’”‘,$spos);
if ($epos>$spos){
$dir = strtolower(substr($wrss,$spos,$epos-$spos));
}// Get difference
$spos = strpos($wrss,’>’,$epos+3)+1;
$epos = strpos($wrss,’<’,$spos);
