Yahoo Finance allows users to obtain various information on a stock through the use of the f query string parameter. The Yahoo Finance api PHP interface library has defined constants for use in setting the variables so that you do not need to know what each of the ambiguous character options mean. Below is a breakdown of what stock information you can return in your quote as well as the appropriate constant to use in the Library.

Hi,
Does anyone know what the “YahooFinance_Options::NOTES” option is for?
Agree with that, replacing it with “p2” did the trick for me.
Looks like this is wrong:
c2 change in percent YahooFinance_Options::CHANGE_IN_PERCENT
should be
p2 change in percent YahooFinance_Options::CHANGE_IN_PERCENT
