LinuxQuestions.org - [PHP] Currency Conversion

Hi,

I need a system to automatically retrieve exchange rates that I can then use on my site to convert a value held in a database to that currency. Does any one have some code or source of code that I can use for this.

I tried systems that use SOAP but i kept getting errors and I dont have a clue what was going on!

I just want to create function that will grab the rates for USD, GBP and Euros and then convert using a single function, something like:

PHP Code:




function curConvert($amount, $from, $to) { 
 
  if (!strcmp($from,"USD") { 
    // Check $to 
     //Convert from USD to $to and return ammount 
   } 
 
  if (!strcmp($from,"GBP") { 
     // Check $to 
     //Convert from GBP to $to and return ammount 
  } 
 
  if (!strcmp($from,"EUR") { 
     // Check $to 
     //Convert from EUR to $to and return ammount 
  } 
 
}

TIA
