Code:

<?php
function mtGoxRate()
{
	$opts = array(
	  'http'=> array(
		'method'=>   "GET",
		'user_agent'=>    "MozillaXYZ/1.0"));
	$context = stream_context_create($opts);
	$json = file_get_contents('https://mtgox.com/code/data/ticker.php', false, $context);
	$jdec = json_decode($json);
	$rate = $jdec->{'ticker'}->{'avg'};
	return $rate;
} ?>

You'll have to modify it a bit to show the USD price, but that will give you a good starting point.
