I need to grab some exchange rates from a site such as xe.com to use with a cart im developing.

Im not great with PHP but undstand how to do everything i need for this project except grab the $-£ exchange rate.. any help ?

i just need to get the rate and set it as $exchangerate for my script to work

If you find one let me know :)

I searched high and low for one and it would seem the only way to get a feed like this is to (a) pay big money or (b) severly break the usage agreement on places like xe.com.

(b) is tempting as its not hard to do with a bit of php but its very naughty so don't do it :)

(b) is tempting but if they found out they could easily change the site in a tiny way which could ruin whoever was grabbing their stats :)
