TSE Ticker

[Manat]

Hello All

My company just went public, and we have a Ticker symbol in the TSE, the Toronto Stock Exchange, we are not listed in Nasdaq.

Can anyone tell me how in PHP would I get real-time stock quotes relative to my ticker listed in the TSE?

I believe Yahoo provides an API for Nasdaq, but not one for the TSE...

Can anyone help??

It's true that there's no API for TSE, but I put together a quick parser that grabs a quote for an arbitrary TSE symbol, from the TSE website.

<?php

if (isset($_POST['symbol'])) {
    $symbol = $_POST['symbol'];
} elseif (isset($_GET['symbol'])) {
    $symbol = $_GET['symbol'];
} else {
    echo "<b>You need to enter a symbol! (tseticker.php?symbol=...)</b>";
}

$page = geturl("http://www.tse.com/HttpController?GetPage=QuotesViewPage&DetailedView=DetailedPrices&Language=en&QuoteSymbol_1=".$symbol);

$Price1 = explode('<TD ALIGN="right" CLASS="text" BGCOLOR="#D0D68E">', $page);
$Price2 = explode('</TD>', $Price1[1]);
$stockprice = $Price2[0];

$DollarChange1 = explode('<TD CLASS="text" ALIGN="right">', $page);
$DollarChange2 = explode('</TD>', $DollarChange1[1]);
$dollarchange = $DollarChange2[0];

$PercentChange1 = explode('<TD CLASS="text" ALIGN="right" BGCOLOR="#D0D68E">', $page);
$PercentChange2 = explode('</TD>', $PercentChange1[1]);
$percentchange = $PercentChange2[0];

$Volume1 = explode('<TD CLASS="text" ALIGN="right">', $page);
$Volume2 = explode('</TD>', $Volume1[2]);
$volume = $Volume2[0];

/*
You now have the variables:
$stockprice
$dollarchange
$percentchange
$volume
You can do whatever you want with them here.
*/

function geturl($url) { // This is just a function to download a URL. The script needs it, so remember to include it.
    $lines = file($url);
    $output = "";
    for ($i = 0; $i < count($lines); $i++) {
        $output .= $lines[$i];
    }
    return $output;
}
?>

You call it by doing http://whatever/path/to/ticker.php?symbol=FOO
Where that pathname is whereever you have this code, and FOO is the symbol name. The code is pretty easy to understand. I hope this helps you.

Thanks Atomm

Your sciprt worked perfectly.
However, how do I also get the following information:

Stock Quote(Last, Volume, NET Change, % Change, Open, High, Low, 52 Week High, 52 Week Low, Last Date/Time)

Stock Chart (Intraday, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 yr)

Obviously you can't help me with the Stock Chart, lol.
But I put it there just in case you have a quick solution.

Thanks A lot!
