where to get sample ofx files for testing?

Question

I am building a php application using Ofx Parser Class from http://www.phpclasses.org/package/5778-PHP-Parse-and-extract-financial-records-from-OFX-files.html . But where can i get a sample ofx file to use this class and test my application?

Answer 1

Try searching "filetype:ofx" in google. I have found a couple there. If you need a whole bunch for a more complete test I don't know.

Answer 2

Easiest by far is to have an online bank account yourself that supports ofx downloads. But you're right; it's surprisingly difficult to find anything past a simplest case online.

I dug up this article on IBM developerWorks that includes a quick sample. It's on parsing ofx with php and helpfully shows the difference between a well-formed XML version of an ofx and the starting-tag only version you'll often find when you download from various banks, but even this sample is only one withdrawal and one deposit.
