Graphics creation on the fly is usually done with the GD library. Theoretically you could also use PDF creation to make charts and graphs.

If you have access to the server or just the admin is willing to install the JPGraph Module for PHP will make your life easier...

Is jpgraph better than GD?

farley99:
jpgraph uses GD to produce graphs. It provides a very rich set of classes to easily produce various types of graphs.

If you get the for-pay version of the software, you even get the ability to produce various types of barcodes.

I hadn't heard of jpgraph until OSR recommended it [BTW: as star for OSR for his telling me about the product], but I downloaded and installed the software and ran the test suite. You can to an awful lot on very few class-method calls with jpgraph.

I wanna make a correction - there is no module to put on the server - JPgraph just uses the GD lib module for PHP so just download the JPGraph files and u can use in your projects.

OSR:

You're right. I should have said that jpgraph is a class wrapper to the PHP builtin image-production functions. jpgraph uses GD through those functions.

Still a cool class, though.
