curl -s "http://money.rediff.com/money/jsp/markets_home.jsp" |grep ''|head -n1|perl -pe 's/^.+\">([\d\,\.]+)<\/TD>.+$/\1/i;'

Using PHP’s Curl functions even if the net is accessible only thru a proxy. This is the only way curl can be used if you use GoDaddy’s hosting .
<?php
ch = curl_init("http://rss.news.yahoo.com/rss/topstories");
curl_setopt( ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt(ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt( ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, "http://192.168.0.15:80");
curl_setopt(ch, CURLOPT_PROXYPORT, 80);
//curl_setopt ( ch, CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD, "username:password");
data = curl_exec ( ch);
curl_close(ch);
print data;
?>
