date, unix timestamp, graph plot


Go to solution Solved by Ch0cu3r,

ok so i want to start designing some graphs to show data from a range of dates and test values (upto x14 seperate tests each with its own visual graph)

 

 

so i looked into things and found FLOT graphs, seems to be able to view what i need and show it how i want to.

 

this is my database formate after using a SELECT query converting the "date" row into a unix timestamp * 1000 to show milliseconds which im told is needed for flot to plot the xaxis correctly.

i have the following code at the moment and it seems to be pulling the data;

<?php	
//session_start();

//include('Includes/auth.php');
//require_once('header.php');
include('Includes/connect.php');

?>

</head>
<?php
// Main query to pull data from 'tests' table
	$sql = "SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP(`date`)*1000 AS unixDate,`date`, `test1`, `test2`, `test3`, `test4`, `test5`, `test6`, `test7`, `test8`, `test9`, `test10`, `test11`, `test12`, `test13`, `test14` FROM `tests` WHERE member_id = '1' ORDER by `date` ASC";
	$result = mysql_query($sql) or die ("no query");
	
//  Dataset1
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc( $result ))  {
    $dataset1[] = array(
                    $row['unixDate'],
                    sprintf( "%.3f", $row['test1'] )
                );
}
?>
<div id="chart1" style="width:600px;height:400px;"></div>

<script type="text/javascript">
    //Chart1
    var chart1Options = {
    	xaxis: { mode: "time",  timeformat: "%Y-%m-%d"},
      	lines: { show: true },
        points: { show: true },
		grid: {
          backgroundColor: { colors: ["#4ca8fa", "#2887da"] },
		  bordercolor: "#fff",
		  borderwidth: "60",
          hoverable: true }
	};
	
	var dataset1 = { label: "result", data: <?php echo json_encode($dataset1); ?>,};

	$.plot($("#chart1"), [ dataset1 ], chart1Options);
</script>
<?php 
//echo json_encode($dataset1);
echo print_r($dataset1); ?>

<?php foreach( $dataset1 as $date => $results ): ?>
<h2><?= $date ?></h2>
    <ul>
    	<?php foreach( $results as $results ): ?>
    	<li><?= $results ?></li>
    	<?php endforeach; ?>
    </ul>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</body>
</html>

The problem seems to be that the graph isnt plotting ther points across the grid, prob due to the fact the dates are wrong on the x axis.

 

which is it showing the wrong dates?

 

http://www.myreeftests.com/graphs2.php (link to the current graph using the above data!)

 

i been on this for over a day now and its giving me a headache. can anyone please help me out and try to explain what i need to do to resolve these issues, i can then just duplicate the working graph for the remaining test results.

 

thank you

aaaaah.... sometuimes the small things,

 

this begs the question though how did the other values on the xaxis come about if i had the gap? does flot graph just incriment the ticks on the xaxis?

 

or can i specificy to only use ticks found in the "date" data?
