I see you can get data also as xml or as json, this last seems to be malformed, so here's an example based on xml output:

<?php
    $url = 'http://chartapi.finance.yahoo.com/instrument/1.0/GOOG/chartdata;type=quote;range=5d/xml/';

    $f = file_get_contents($url);
    $xml = simplexml_load_string($f);

    # print everything
    print_r($xml);

Since you get an object array you can print a specific node by adding the node name:

print_r($xml->series);

From here it should be easy to collect data and create a chart.

If I understand you want to get data by changing this link parameters:

http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=GOOG&f=snd1l1yr

I'm not sure you can manipulate it, because you will need an API specification in order to know which parameters you can use. The Yahoo Finance API from what I'm seeing right now, does not provide this kind of feature, but only RSS feeds, which are actually those you're already accessing from:

http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=GOOG

Maybe you want to consider the Finance Badges: http://finance.yahoo.com/badges/

Yahoo finance API is not available anymore. I have moved to MarketXLS after this change, much more reliable data.

Harri seems to be a spammer (human?), a quick search revealed many posts with the same text:
