Let’s say I want to show the combined results of how many kids there is per family. Any idea how I can combine my results to form a chart or piechart?

Styles2304 · November 20, 2008

results from what?

rhodesa · November 20, 2008

Can I assume you already now how to generate the data, just need to turn that into something graphical? There are several options out there:

http://www.fusioncharts.com/ - Stylish, but not free, Flash based frontend

http://www.maani.us/xml_charts/ - Also Stylish, has a free version, Flash based frontend

http://www.aditus.nu/jpgraph/ - Crude looking, but all free, uses GD to make image

http://code.google.com/apis/chart/ - Pretty slick, you just create a URL and Google makes the image for you

Hmm, roughly how should i generate the data?

I 've never used flash before so i'm unsure of how it's gona work.

rhodesa · November 20, 2008

All of ones with the Flash front end, don't require you to know any Flash. They generate the chart based on an XML file (which can be static or dynamically generated with PHP).

Read the Documentation for each and check out their examples for what the final data looks like.

}

rhodesa · November 20, 2008

you are adding elements to $children as you are reading them, therefore it will run forever

redarrow · November 20, 2008

can u show me the solution please cheers........

redarrow · November 20, 2008

the only way a function lol...

echo pie('5',$children);

redarrow · November 20, 2008

why is the 1st result not showing the name off the person on top off array 0

see the result your self

http://simpleforum.ath.cx/pie.php

WHY THE ECHOED FORMAT WRONG OF THE RESULT, IT NOT ON TOP WHY?

The function........

<?php
$family=array("john"=>"3","paul"=>"10","bob"=>"9","henry"=>"1","clair"=>"2","linda"=>"6");

foreach($family as $key => $val){

echo "$key has $val children ".pie($val,$children)." ";

}
?>

full code

Please get rid of that long switch() statement. You can do the same using:

if ($children > 1) {
} else {
   $children = ($children-1)*20-2;
}

redarrow · November 20, 2008

your maths didnt work m8....

look agin.......

the quistion is why issint the correct names on the correct line......

rhodesa · November 20, 2008

change the 'echo' in your function to 'return'. since you are executing the pie() function inside the echo statement, it will run it first (echoing the DIV), then finishing the echo.

redarrow · November 20, 2008

can u show me please thank u............

like to learn properly........

redarrow · November 20, 2008

SOLVED JUST NEEDED RETURN INSTEAD OFF ECHO LOVLY YE HA

THANK U....

There u go a pie chart.............

rhodesa · November 20, 2008

if i had my way, it would be like this:

<?php
  $family = array(
    'john'  => 3,
    'paul'  => 10,
    'kevin' => 7,
  );
  foreach($family as $name => $num){
    $width = ($num > 1) ? (($num-1)*20)-2 : 1;
    echo "{$name}<div style='height: 10px; width:{$width}px; padding: 10px; background: URL(2tone.gif) repeat'></div><br>";
  }
?>

redarrow · November 20, 2008

your way good so what all this mean

$width = ($num > 1) ? (($num-1)*20)-2 : 1;

exsplain it confused me

premiso · November 20, 2008

your way good so what all this mean

$width = ($num > 1) ? (($num-1)*20)-2 : 1;

exsplain it confused me

If $num is greater than one, then subtract 1 from $num then times that by 20 then subtract 2 from that.

If $num is less than one set $num to one.

So lets say $num is 10

10 - 1 is 9 times that by 20 is 180

then subtract 2 is 178

So the width would be set to 178 pixels. This I am assuming would make sure that the name can fit inside the div without being cut off. And if there was no name it would be set to 1 so the div wouldn't really be visible....at least that is how I interpret it.

Mark Baker · November 20, 2008

the quistion is why issint the correct names on the correct line......

I know that my maths wasn't answering your question.... I was just getting fed up with seeing the size of your switch statement when the logic it executed could be simplified to a simple mathematical formula.

your maths didnt work mate....

So what was wrong with the mathematics.... other than the fact that I left an else in the if statement?

My apologies for trying to simplify your code.

redarrow · November 20, 2008

you needed to take 2 away or 1 away to get correct result.....

other wise get wrong image result......

but your ways off thinking are grate thank u...

redarrow · November 20, 2008

no sorry ur write im always wrong sorry.............

i just dont no how to think like a programmer my common sence sucks sorry mate
