I am working on a shopping cart website project, which is still in development phase.
I want to display the rates of the products in INR(Indian Rupees) and USD(US Dollars).
Can someone help me with a php code for doing the live currency conversion.
I want to know how can I collect the live currency values in a php variable to do the conversion.

For example: If I go to the link http://www.xe.com/ucc/convert.cgi?From= ... R&Amount=1
Here I can get the live rate for US dollars to INR conversion. As It is shown in the picture below.

In the picture it is also shown that 1 INR = 0.0214083 USD (This is the live current value).
Is there any way I can collect the live current value of the currency in a variable?
Please help me in resolving this issue, or please point me to the right direction.

Thanks for your help, and I am sorry if you misunderstood me. I was just trying to show one example website, on which the live currency conversion is happening. There are many such websites, which give the current currency value.

I just wanted to know, how to collect or get the value of a currency in a variable. For example: Suppose I create following variables:

$INR is a php variable which is stroes the value in Indian Rupees.
$USD is a php variable which stores the value in US Dollars.

( 1 INR = 0.0214083 USD) This is the current conversion value that is taken from any xyz website.

So

$INR = 0.0214083 * $USD;

So I just want to know, that from any website (which display the currency conversion rates) how can I get a live current value in a php variable, so that I can use it on my website for displaying the product prices in both INR and USD.

Please point me to a right direction, or let me know any such website from where I can collect the live data in a php variable; and I also want to know how to do that.

I understand what you want to do HOWEVER the ToS of Xe.com DO NOT ALLOW YOU TO SCRAPE THE DATA FROM THEIR SITE.

You have two choices as detailed on this page
