I hope someone would develope this further into a module, we really really need an Exchange Rate module. From research, I found to get an exchange rate feed from Google:
xrate.php code:
<?php
function exchangeRate( $amount, $currency, $exchangeIn )
{
$googleQuery = $amount . ' ' . $currency . ' in ' . $exchangeIn;
$googleQuery = urlEncode( $googleQuery );
$askGoogle = file_get_contents( 'http://www.google.com/search?q=' . $googleQuery );
$askGoogle = strip_tags( $askGoogle );
if (preg_match("/Rates provided for information only - see disclaimer./i", $askGoogle)) {
$matches = array();
preg_match( '/= (([0-9]|.|,| )*)/', $askGoogle, $matches );
return $matches[1] ? $matches[1] : false;
}
else {
$status = "google says no";
return $status;
}
}
?>
put the following code into your PHP block:
<?php
require( '/path.to/xrate.php' );
echo '1 AUD = '.round((str_replace ("","",(exchangeRate(1, 'aud', 'usd' )))),4).' USD';
echo '<br>';
echo '1 AUD = '.round((str_replace ("","",(exchangeRate(1, 'aud', 'vnd' )))),4).'000 VND';
echo '<br>';
echo '1 AUD = '.round((str_replace ("","",(exchangeRate(1, 'aud', 'cad' )))),4).' CAD';
echo '<br>';
echo '1 AUD = '.round((str_replace ("","",(exchangeRate(1, 'aud', 'jpy' )))),3).' YEN';
echo '<br>';
echo '1 AUD = '.round((str_replace ("","",(exchangeRate(1, 'aud', 'eur' )))),4).' EUR';
echo '<br>';
echo '1 AUD = '.round((str_replace ("","",(exchangeRate(1, 'aud', 'nzd' )))),4).' NZD';
?>
