Hello, I'd appreciate your help with this and please if this is not the right forum don't delete this post, move it.

I need to publish prices in 4 different currencies, which makes very hard to mantain if I don't automate the process. Every change in 1 price will need to be updated 4 times.

The same price let's say U$ 1 should reflect it's value in Euros, and 2 other currencies.
I guess must be a way to keep those updated all the time.

The easy solution would be a script to customize the variable and just multiply the original value using the current value of the money, but that is not enterely right because the relation between different currencies changes all the time.

So I guess I need to take those values from a database, a site or something...

Can someone tell me how to do that?
Consider I don't understand php, just html.
Maybe is some script out there or service...

Thanks!

Maybe this thread [webmasterworld.com] is something for you: information about parsing the XML data that the European Central Bank posts every day, for free.
