[SOLVED] error with stock ticker code

[sevans]

Here is the code I was left to work with since the guy who wrote it is away, anyway i am not that good with PHP so any help would be greatly appreciated.

it keeps telling me the tickersymbol is not registered. now this could be because of Yahoo finance, and I beleive the URl may be wrong Im not sure.

you can go here to see the error. http://www.oncologymed.com/investor_relations.php

$read = fread($open, 2000);

fclose($open);

Well, a quick check of the source code tells me none of your PHP is being executed. This could be for a number of reasons.

 

Hopefully it is just a case of the short_open_tags directive being set to off. Try using full opening tags (<?php) instead of short ones (<?).
