So uh, Yahoo has some API stuff that I came across but apart from using regex (which I can't seem to get to work for this for some reason) I am at a loss as to how to do this. I need the numbers of the highs and lows and maybe the image Yahoo provides.
There a way to check if my host has it installed? (erm, maybe it comes with the PHP package? does it? lol)

I think it's generally installed with php5, but it is an extension. Write a script with a standard html shell and the single php line: phpinfo();
in the body and you'll see what all your host has installed. Protect it or delete it afterward; you don't want would-be hackers to see some of the information it imparts.

Yeah, it's installed at my host, they have php 5 installed and the simplexml_load_file works on the Yahoo feed via url. :) I'm really close to having it parsed too, I'll let you know what happens.
