PHP-在线获取股票报价

Question

I have a php file wherein im trying to get online data/stock quote that i would like to print in a html table line by line heres my code:

{
    $url = 'http://download.finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?
    s=^AORD+BHP.AX+BLT.L+AAPL&f=nd1l1';
    $data = file_get_contents($url);

    echo $data;
}

and the output is: "ALL ORDINARIES","9/7/2017",5753.80 "BHP BLT FPO","9/7/2017",27.33 "BHP BILLITON PLC ORD $0.50","9/7/2017",1457.50 "Apple Inc.","9/7/2017",161.26

what i would like to have is something like this:

"ALL ORDINARIES","9/7/2017",5753.80

i tried to do:

echo $data[1];

but result is: "A"

how should be my approach to this? Thank you!

Answer 1

$data is a string, not an array. Use nl2br() to convert the newlines in the data to HTML <br> tags:

echo nl2br($data);

Or print it in a <pre> block to indicate that the data is formatted and shouldn't be wrapped by the browser.

echo '<pre>' . $data . '</pre>';

Answer 2

Currently, $data is a string, which gives $data[0] == '"'; $data[1] == 'A'; $data[2] == 'L', $data[3] == 'L' ... for the entire string.

Since you are pulling a csv file, $data = str_getcsv($data) will convert the string contained in $data into an array. See http://php.net/manual/en/function.str-getcsv.php .
