Creating charts

[cgillin]

Does anyone know of a way to create graphs in PHP. Ideally the solution would not cost me any money and would only require me to add some classes to my server. I have shared hosting right now and am not in a position to install any programs.

If this isn't too realistic in PHP does anyone have an idea of how to do it with javascript or something else?

Thanks for the help,
Chris

Did you search for any solutions before posting here? I just did a quick searh in Google for "charts php" and came up with thousands of hits.

The first one pointed to <

... go there and see if anything fits what you want.

Check if the PHP is compiled with the GD library.
Graphs in JavaScript? AFAIK not possible. Java Applets, yes, JavaScript, no.
DO a quick Google for GD and imagemagik. GD should contain GIF creation now again, since the international patent ran out yesterday and GIF is free at last!.

JavaScript? Good one!


The ability of your PHP installation to programatically create graphics on the fly depends on whether PHP has its Image family of functions available.

If your HSP has made PHP's image functions available, you can use JPGraph
