[sunnysideup]

Dear All,

 

I'm trying to parse yahoo quotes using their csv service, everything is runing well, but i cant get to load an image dynamically, my code (without image link) is as follows:

 

<?php

$quote = $_GET['company'];
$url = "http://in.finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=" . $quote . "&f=sl1d1t1c1ohgvwmj5j6k4k5t7m3m7m8m4m5m6npbaa5a2kj&e=.csv";

//open it for reading
$fp = fopen($url , "r");

//if no connection exists display error message
if (!fp) {
    echo "could not connect to the site";
}else {
    //store the csv file info in the array $data
    $data = fgetcsv($fp,1000,",");
    //close the file
    fclose($fp);
?>
  <table>
    <tr><td colspan="2">CHART IMAGE FROM http://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/b?s=GOOG</td></tr>
    <tr><td>Last Trade</td><td><?php echo $data[1] ?></td></tr>

feel free to ignore redarrow.

 

since the output of that yahoo charts service is an image, you should be able to put it directly in the image's source attribute, like so:

 

<img src="http://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/b?s=<?php echo $_GET['company']; ?>" alt="<?php echo $_GET['company']; ?> Trading Chart" />

 

if the charts are always fixed dimensions, you should toss those into the image tag for good measure.
