I'm sure plenty of people have done this properly, but here's a
quick hack to use Xe's currency converter.
<?php
class currency
{
function convert($amount, $from, $to) {
$regex = "/[0-9.]+\s*$from\s*=\s*([0-9.]+)\s*$to/";
$return = file ("http://www.xe.net/ucc/convert.cgi?Amount=1&From=$from&To=$to");
foreach ($return as $line) {
if( preg_match($regex, $line, $match) ) break;
}
if (!isset($match)) return false;
return $amount * $match[1];
}
}
$money = new currency;
print $money->convert( 10, "GBP", "AUD" );
?>
