Subject: [PHP] Currency Exchange Database?
I have a client that's looking to do auto conversions of currency on
their reservation payment form. No big deal, I can that part down.
However, exchange rates change on a minute to minute basis and they want
the program to automatically know the current rates. Is there an online
database or a way I can tap into a database that has that information?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Re: [PHP] Currency Exchange Database?
I thought about that but I'm looking to make it seem-less. I just want to get the numbers and do the conversion myself not have the third party do it. I just need an updated list on a daily/hourly basis.
