Sorry for the false alarm and thanks again for this handy script!

This script has been working great for months but it seems to have broken today, I suspect Google may have changed the format of their output or something to that effect.

The error output it’s now giving is as follows:

PHP Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in /path/to/currency_converter.php on line 21

This happened with the usual cron-triggered execution at 8:30am this morning and is still happening when I try manually now (it’s now around noon).

Will try again later in case it’s just a Google hiccup but you may want to try yourself to see if you get the same results or whether it’s just busted for my deployment.

Thanks again for writing this script in the first place, has kept my bosses happy for a long time so far!
