The only problem as I recall with libChart is that they insist on putting their own banner on your charts, which is a right turn off…

That’s like someone watching over you whilst your doing the business

Thankyou Moises – Flot looks pretty good.

I use now another method. I prefer to send the data and create the graphic in the client with Javascript. Have you seen Flot?

@dave and @kevin Thanks for the links – I’ve tried most of the options in the past, but was not too happy with the quality of the graphs.

there is a graphing library in pear, image_graph
as well as jpgraph, http://www.aditus.nu/jpgraph/
both are object oriented libraries

i think there’s also one in pecl, gdchart, but i’m not sure how well that one is maintained

so there seems to be an abundance of choice for php developers

I used that in a customer project, its a simple to use PHP API.

For small charts, you could use the Google Chart API instead, but a lot of people more like to use self-hosted solutions, so pChart i your friend

libChart is another PHP solution: http://naku.dohcrew.com/libchart/
