OUTDATED: This software is a PHP class to grab the latest stocks from Yahoo Finance, and to cache them optionally. To gather data regularly, you can use a crownjob. If you are using Linux type crontab -e on the shell. Then insert the following line (adapt the paths) to your crown file
* * * * * /usr/local/bin/php /home/marc/yahoo.stocks.class.php
and the cron-deamon will execute the script every minute, thus collecting the stock data.
To download the class click
right here (do not forget to rename phps to php).
