Basically im looking for advice on the best method to go about this.

kickstart Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Hi There are a few around but the best are paid for. I landed up writing my own for basic lie graphs. Creating them with the graphics functions isn't too hard.

lukekelly Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 Thanks for replies guys, that phpmygraph looks pretty simple and good to use; but im just thinking how the data would get into there, guessing it has to be manually entered. Ive found this http://www.fusioncharts.com which supports a lot of languages and does have mysql connectivity. I guess what would really suit my needs is the ability to select a month, then output all related data to that month into a bar chart. The y axis would contain numbers 1 - whatever and the x axis would contain the client, but within the client there would be 4 datasets (just 4 different numbers) so it would look a bit like this http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/c9/Literacy_Bar_Chart.jpg/590px-Literacy_Bar_Chart.jpg on that chart they have two datasets for each area in india, 1981 and 2001. So same principal just mine would have 4 for each. Ideally to produce this graph i would litrally just want a drop down box to select a month that will produce the graph - but it must be able to pull the data direct from mysql without any human entering. Although i am open to other suggestions / ways of tackling this Thanks Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/163609-phpmysql-graph-generation/#findComment-863266 Share on other sites More sharing options...
