SMF SSI.php Functions
Current Version: 2.0
This file is used to demonstrate the capabilities of SSI.php using PHP include functions. The examples show the include tag, then the results of it.
Include Code
To use SSI.php in your page add at the very top of your page before the <html> tag on line 1 of your php file:
<?php require("SSI.php"); ?>
Some notes on usage
All the functions have an output method parameter. This can either be "echo" (the default) or "array"
If it is "echo", the function will act normally - otherwise, it will return an array containing information about the requested task. For example, it might return a list of topics for ssi_recentTopics.
This functionality can be used to allow you to present the information in any way you wish.

Recent Topics Function
Code (simple mode)
<?php ssi_recentTopics(); ?>
Code (advanced mode)
<?php ssi_recentTopics($num_recent = 8, $exclude_boards = null, $include_boards = null, $output_method = 'echo'); ?>

Older ASX Prices available - Back to 1996-Jul-01 Mon
This makes for a day-by-day history of 23.5 years (so far). More every day.
All this history is clickable and available for investigation by Company or Date.
By Company.... https://www.ozsuper.com/ax_b3/b_BHP.php
By Date... https://www.ozsuper.com/ax/ax_date_ls.php
Company Basic Prices function - Now fully formatted
The scrollable basic prices function for a company is now full format, rather than just basic format.
- Cells are color coded in comparison to Price, Volume, Rank limit range.
- Font effected based on value increase, decrease, no-change.
Functional notes (at present, may change over time):
- Limits are derived from overall company limits, rather than just the limits on the visible page.
eg: https://www.ozsuper.com/ax_b3/b_BHP.php#Limits - PE value is calculated from the latest EPS value throughout the history on the prices, rather than a historical changing value.
eg: https://www.ozsuper.com/ax_b3/b_BHP.php#Basic
Disclaimer page now available
The wording for this page will expand over time. It will contain some basic warnings that should already be in minds of investors.

far better screen sizes for small devices...
No more pinching and scrolling right to left.
The webpage will now display the correct width, landscape or portrait.
For those with a technical bent: this is with the use of the viewport statement in the HTML Header.
