They can use live rates to do the conversion. It isn't hard to do.
PHP Code:
<?php
//Subscription prices in Euros
$sub1 = 24.00;
$sub2 = 36.00;
$sub3 = 48.00;
$sub4 = 64.00;
//Gets the value of 1 Euro in USD.
$url = "http://finance.google.com/finance/converter?a=1.00&from=EUR&to=USD";
$findcurrstr = "<span class=bld>";
$findcurrstr2 = " USD";
$file = file($url);
//What we're looking for is close to the end of the file, so reverse the array.
$file = array_reverse($file);
foreach ($file as $value) {
if ($pos = strpos($value,$findcurrstr)) {
$startpos = $pos + strlen($findcurrstr);
$len = strpos($value,$findcurrstr2) - $startpos;
$currvalue = substr($value,$startpos,$len);
break;
}
}
//Check if something is wrong with $currvalue that would mean something went wrong.
if ($currvalue) {
if (is_numeric($currvalue)) {
//Display the prices in USD.
$sub1usd = number_format($sub1 * $currvalue,2);
$sub2usd = number_format($sub2 * $currvalue,2);
$sub3usd = number_format($sub3 * $currvalue,2);
$sub4usd = number_format($sub4 * $currvalue,2);
echo "2400 Gelats = \$$sub1usd<br>";
echo "4000 Gelats = \$$sub2usd<br>";
echo "5600 Gelats = \$$sub3usd<br>";
echo "8000 Gelats = \$$sub4usd<br>";
}
}
?>
Not the optimal way of coding it, but illustrates that it's possible.

The only annoying thing are probably the odd numbers, but if we would round up the numbers then you wouldn't like it either.
Linear Mode
