I am thinking you can try using file_get_contents and parse the information you need from the content of that page.

$url = "http://in.finance.yahoo.com/q?s=IFCI.NS&m=NS ";
$content = file_get_contents($url);

Then you can do anything from the $content string.

If you want advice on fetching price from a third-party page my advice is don't. It might cost a lof on bandwidth and performance, not to mention that you might be attacked by lawyers

Almost everyone states that you cannot use their data ... i.e. screen scraping

Hi Kudose . I know that. I don't want to just capture their data. Actually I will use this stock data to store on my website database. I will develoing php script which will check whether new intraday high or low make or break by any stock & post their name on webpage . Thats why I need real time data from yahoo.

& If still yahoo TOS violated. Then I have another idea. I got online broker account from MOTILAL OSWAL SECURITIES LTD. ([url]http://motilaloswal.com)[/url]. They have trading aplication which can found at (http://motilaloswal.com/mybroker). I got paid account with them. They provide live streaming stock data though their query or interactive server. I just attach some images so you will get an idea how this work.

My question, Is their any method to connect that streaming server to my website server using PHP & store live data onto my website database for further calculation?

that apparently uses an unique protocol to communicate between the client and the server. That means you will have to write the entire network proggramming yourself, which gets worst if you can't find the documentation of the program's network communications. And if you can't find such documentation, it's most likely they don't allow you to freely use their info either.
