Just want to say Hi first of all, this is my first post and I am needing some help. Ive searched google and many other tutorials along with php.net and I cant seem to figure this out. I originally got help with this code from someone I can no longer get a hold of, and so im stuck now and need some help.
Anyways I have this code below that worked perfect about 3-4 weeks ago and now for some reason its not working. The code took values of stock prices from a website listed in the code and put those values into my website.
I have not changed anything with my code so I am guessing they may have changed something on their end. I would like to know what may be wrong with this code and if I am not searching the right fields or variables.
Please let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks.
