Hello!

Me, some family and friends have started an investment portfolio together. Now I'm making a website to display the value of the portfolio in real-time. I managed to create a script which gathers the value of all the stocks independently with PHP. Now, I would like to run this script inside the HTML. What I mean is that for example I set $url = ASpecificStock'sURL and then run the script with the PHP code and set the values inside my HTML script, then set $url = AnotherSpecificStock'sURL and run the script again. Is this possible?

To clarify: I'm looking for some kind of command that runs an external PHP script, if such exists?

Thank you in advance

Not sure if I get your question but if you want to call PHP script from HTML it is possible using javascript which I don't think would be secure. Other work around would be AJAX. Looking at the problem IMO AJAX would be the one to the rescue. Hope it might help!!!
