lightningrod Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I just downloaded phpMyGraph version 5. Not really much documentation on this other than how to create graphs. For installation, I installed the phpMyGraph.5.0.php in my /var/www and copy/pasted one of the examples from the website to make an example graph. All I get is weird text taking up the whole page. Both the phpMyGraph.5.0.php and examplegraph.php are located in /var/www. Anyone know if this is correct? Any answer on how to actually get a graph to display rather than a page full of random characters??? Their "user forum" had one answer for this and it doesn't work. see here: http://phpclasses.elib.com/discuss/package/4636/thread/1/ Anyone who has ever used this can probably solve my problem. Any help appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vorlox Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Are you using the output in a seperate file? Or are you trying to put the output between the rest of your code? Use it like <img src="graph.php"> and then in graph.php put something like <?php header("Content-type: image/png"); //Include phpMyGraph5.0.php include_once('phpMyGraph5.0.php'); //Set config directives $cfg['title'] = 'Example graph'; $cfg['width'] = 500; $cfg['height'] = 250; //Set data $data = array( 'Jan' => 12, 'Feb' => 25, 'Mar' => 0, 'Apr' => 7, 'May' => 80, 'Jun' => 67, 'Jul' => 45, 'Aug' => 66, 'Sep' => 23, 'Oct' => 23, 'Nov' => 78, 'Dec' => 23 ); //Create phpMyGraph instance $graph = new phpMyGraph(); //Parse $graph->parseHorizontalSimpleColumnGraph($data, $cfg); ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightningrod Posted July 12, 2010 Author Share Posted July 12, 2010 Initially, I just had the "graph.php" file and was trying to display that with my browser: (http://www.somewebsiteblahblah.com/graph.php). After reading your post, I created a basic blank html and between the <body> and </body> I put the <img src="graph.php">. I saved this as graph.html. When I tried to display the graph.html in my browser: (http://www.somewebsiteblahblah.com/graph.html), all I get is a "broken image" icon in the top left corner. Should I post my "graph.html" and "graph.php" files here for someone to look at? At this point I have no clue why it doesn't work. I am not very good yet with php, but am learning.

lightningrod Posted July 12, 2010 Author Share Posted July 12, 2010 My 'graph.php" looks exactly like yours: <?php header("Content-type: image/png"); //Include phpMyGraph5.0.php include_once('phpMyGraph5.0.php'); //Set config directives $cfg['title'] = 'Example graph'; $cfg['width'] = 500; $cfg['height'] = 250; //Set data $data = array( 'Jan' => 12, 'Feb' => 25, 'Mar' => 0, 'Apr' => 7, 'May' => 80, 'Jun' => 67, 'Jul' => 45, 'Aug' => 66, 'Sep' => 23, 'Oct' => 23, 'Nov' => 78, 'Dec' => 23 ); //Create phpMyGraph instance $graph = new phpMyGraph(); //Parse $graph->parseHorizontalSimpleColumnGraph($data, $cfg); ?> And my "graph.html" looks like: <html> <head> <title>GRAPH</title> </head> <body> <img src="graph.php"> </body> </html> Any ideas?? All 3 files (phpMyGraph5.0.php, graph.php, graph.html) are located in /var/www. Is this the correct place for them to be?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
