Answer 1

Taken from http://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/exchange/eurofxref/html/index.en.html#dev

How to parse the data
This is just an example

<?php
//This is a PHP (4/5) script example on how eurofxref-daily.xml can be parsed 

//Read eurofxref-daily.xml file in memory 
$XMLContent= file("http://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/eurofxref/eurofxref-daily.xml");
//the file is updated daily between 2.15 p.m. and 3.00 p.m. CET

foreach ($XMLContent as $line) {
        if (ereg("currency='([[:alpha:]]+)'",$line,$currencyCode)) {
            if (ereg("rate='([[:graph:]]+)'",$line,$rate)) {
                    //Output the value of 1 EUR for a currency code 
                    echo '1 &euro; = '.$rate[1].' '.$currencyCode[1].'<br />';
                    //--------------------------------------------------
                    // Here you can add your code for inserting
                    // $rate[1] and $currencyCode[1] into your database
                    //--------------------------------------------------
            }
        }
}
?> 

Not the best of scripts, but then again, you just asked for gimme-teh-codez.

Answer 2

you can calculate exchange rates quite simply like:

$from = "GBP";
$to = "USD";
$url = 'http://www.webservicex.net/CurrencyConvertor.asmx/ConversionRate?FromCurrency='.$from.'&ToCurrency='.$to;
$rate = simplexml_load_file($url);
echo 'Rate from '.$from.' to '.$to.' is: '.$rate[0];
