Store the results from today. Tomorrow use those results.

Not bad idea

... The concept initially was to request from a distant file the rates of the changes , so I need some url pointing to the old csv file from yahoo .
for example :

$yesterdayschanges=new ChangeRates($from_csv_of_yesterday)
$todayschanges=new ChangeRates($from_csv_of_today)

print CompareRates($yesterdayschanges,$todayschanges)


help pliz...

thanks,
All right I will try to store them in a .txt file , that is easy to do but I can't believe the distant url from which yesterday's rates could be loaded doesn't exist. I've spent many hours to search online with no results.

Have you tried emailing yahoo developer support?
