Here's a version with the v2 API

Code:

$tuCurl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($tuCurl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://data.mtgox.com/api/2/BTCUSD/money/ticker");
curl_setopt($tuCurl, CURLOPT_PORT , 443);
curl_setopt($tuCurl, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($tuCurl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$tuData = curl_exec($tuCurl);
$obj = json_decode($tuData);
$averagePrice = $obj->data->avg->value;
$lastPrice = $obj->data->last->value;
echo $averagePrice."\n";
echo $lastPrice."\n";

Note that directly calling mtgox each time the page gets loaded makes it possible to get your website blocked by mtgox.
Either someone keeps F5 pressed or your site gets enough normal traffic.
Your server then would hammer mtgox with API requests what will get you banned.
It's better to add some local caching to protect yourself from that.

Code:

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"https://mtgox.com/api/1/BTCUSD/ticker");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0;");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
$gox=json_decode(curl_exec($ch), true);
curl_close ($ch);
$gox=$gox["return"]["last"]["display_short"];

echo $gox;

That should work for you better, since API v0 was phased out

php scripts should start with

and also you need CURL installed on your server.

alternatively try this:

Code:

$gox=file_get_contents("https://mtgox.com/api/0/data/ticker.php");
$gox=explode(",\"buy\":",$gox);$gox=explode(",",$gox[1]);$gox=$gox[0];

echo $gox;

if both doesn't work, your server is not allowing outgoing connections.

Code:

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"https://mtgox.com/api/0/data/ticker.php");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0;");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
$gox=curl_exec($ch);curl_close ($ch);
$gox=explode(",\"buy\":",$gox);$gox=explode(",",$gox[1]);$gox=$gox[0];

echo $gox;

in the end you get the current buy rate on the variable "$gox".

I've searched and found quite a few WP plugin and other random codes but none seem to work. I found a javascript one but its too slow.

I'm looking for a simple PHP script to get the current BTC rate. Non-WP.
