Gold Ticker

[mastero4]

I am searching all over the place for a gold ticker for my website. All that I need is the gold being displayed. I also do not want to have other links on it or anything to take the visitors away from me.

Any ideas on a code for this?

Thanks.

What's a gold ticker?

Similar to a Stock ticker, but for metals like Silver, Gold, Platinum, Palladium, etc.

Stock tickers are usually written in Java...

But anyway, is there a server where you can get the gold tickers from? If you do, then you can use PHP's socket functions to make a connection to that server and use whatever protocol they use to get the price...

I use something similar for currency exchange rates; since the Reserve Bank here doesn't supply the data in a machine-formatted manner (at least, I haven't found it if they do), I just suck down the human-readable web page on a regular basis and parse that.
