Displaying active bitcoin stats on my webpage

[Houseonfire]

I'm having a hard time figuring out how to display current mtgox stats on my web page.
I honestly have no idea where to start, and I can't find anything helpful online for how to do it.
The page I want to display on is my bithopper mining stats page, so its an html page.

I have the APIs from MtGox and tradehill but I don't know how to use them.

Is there anyone willing to help? I just want it displayed on my own page that me and a few friends are using.. It's nothing commercial or anything. The BitHopper people aren't helping me any, so i'm looking to the community for help.

Thanks

Here is how I did it on my old mining pool website with PHP and mySQL from TradeHill, which is *very* similar to how you would do it with MtGox, unless you want to use websocket/sockets.io for live AJAX stuff.

Code:

$file = fopen("https://api.tradehill.com/APIv1/USD/Ticker", "rb");
$tradedata = fread($file, 8192);
fclose($file);

$jsonTradedata = json_decode($tradedata, true);

mysql_query("UPDATE `websiteSettings` SET `tradeHillWorth` = '".$jsonTradedata['ticker']['last']."'");
echo $jsonTradedata['ticker']['last'];

This accessed a table in MySQL called websiteSettings in my main DB. You don't need a database, but it makes it easier to reduce load on your website because you can pool every N times, instead of every time the page loads.

Then you run this somewhere in your PHP code before you want to call the variable:

Code:

$tradeHillQ = mysql_query("SELECT `tradeHillWorth` FROM `websiteSettings`");
					$tradeHillWorth = mysql_fetch_object($tradeHillQ);

Then you run this when you want to insert the price in the output of the HTML page:

Code:

<?php echo round($tradeHillWorth->tradeHillWorth, 2);?>

The code above will round it to two decimal places.  Again, this is very, very similar to how you would do it for any exchange.  Just read their API documentation.
