Hi..

I am looking for a script or server side software which would perform the following actions...

1. At a time set by webmaster each day the scraper program is to go to a web page specified by the webmaster and retrieve some currency price data (maybe by a common scrape type method where you can specify anything bewteen A and B in the source code of the said site)..

2. once the data is retrieved the currency prices need to have some calculations performed on them and then the results displayed on a page or pages on my website....page to be specified by webmaster...

3. Once data is retrieved it could either store the data in a mysql table then pull the data out again - perform the calculations and display results....or....scrape the data - perform calculations and display all in one go....

4. the program/script need to be able to do this process for about 10 different currencies at a time and also a similar thing for stock prices....it would be prefered if the script/prog was customisable in a way that the webmaster can point it any website he likes...retrieve as much or as little data as he likes..and customis the calculations performed on the data too...

maybe thats asking to much?...?
