Greetings,
This is my first post in this group.
I am new to php script language. I am trying to use it get stock information and plot them in my way. A lot of examples showed to get stock quote in csv format from yahoo finance. In stead of quote, does anyone know the addresses to get other stock information, such as P/E, Key Statistics, etc from any public web site?
Thank you much.

I think there's a reason that those sites point you to Yahoo! As far as I know, nothing like that is available. However, since that data is just that, data, you could build a parser with extensive searching (a la preg_match) and simply steal Yahoo!'s information for everything. I've got a feeling it would violate Yahoo!'s terms of service, but if it's for personal or classroom use, I hardly assume they'd even notice anyone using a utility like that.
Hi,
Thanks for your help. I am not sure I will try if it violates something. But at least you gave me some knowledge.

One of these might help as well: http://www.hotscripts.com/cgi-bin/se...ocks&catid=all
You can look for a web service that has stock quotes and parse the XML. Try http://www.xmethods.net/
