Before you go republishing data from Nasdaq.com (or any other site) please be sure that you understand the legal implications of doing so. For 99% of sites (probably 100% of sites providing live market quotes considering the cost of obtaining said data) you need explicit written permission to do it. For example, the following paragraph was taken from the copyright message returned in the XML obtained by the code given by the above link: <quote source="http://quotes.nasdaq.com/quote.dll?page=xml&mode=stock&symbol=";> Unless you have a Nasdaq Logo License or other written agreement in effect with The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. which states otherwise, you may only provide a hypertext link to the Nasdaq Site on another website, provided that (a) the link must be a text-only link clearly marked "Nasdaq Home Page" or "nasdaq.com", (b) the link must "point" to the URL "http://www.nasdaq.com"; and not to other pages within the Nasdaq Site, (c) the appearance, position and other aspects of the link may not be such as to damage or dilute the goodwill associated with Nasdaq's name and trademarks, (d) the appearance, position and other aspects of the link may not create the false appearance that an entity is associated with or sponsored by Nasdaq, (e) the link, when activated by a user, must display the Nasdaq Site full-screen and not within a "frame" on the linked website, and (f) The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. reserves the right to revoke its consent to the link at any time in its sole discretion. </quote> Or diluted down to the basic message: You may not republish this information without written permission! -- Stuart -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
