Does anyone know of a high quality PHP based graph library that I can use I have already looked at pchart (http://pchart.sourceforge.net/). PChart produces pixelated line graphs and does not really have any great 3D graphs? Also I would rather not use Java because of the client side aspect.
These look great but again this suffers the same issue as jscript in that it is entirely dependent upon the client having it enabled. Also the other issue with these are that they are not image files so if I wanted to download them to add to a document or email I can't.

A:
I have looked through all of the options outlined in the comment posted from Mike and below is my breakdown.
Charts Packages Found and my Comments:
http://www.anychart.com/products/anychart/gallery/ - Very expensive $4999 for any use license
http://teethgrinder.co.uk/open-flash-chart/ - Flash based but very cool and free http://teethgrinder.co.uk/open-flash-chart-2/ - This is the second version of above having moved to actionscript 3.0
http://code.google.com/apis/chart/ - Google chart API
http://pchart.sourceforge.net/index.php - pChart I have already used and it is the rendering that is an issue
http://www.advsofteng.com/ - Looked at yesterday and not free
http://www.amcharts.com/ - Flash based charts and not free
http://www.peters1.dk/webtools/php/lagkage.php?sprog=en – Raw PHP using the GD package in Linux but rendering is not good
http://www.fusioncharts.com/Gallery/Category.asp?Column3D – Flash based play 8 or above and not free but very nice
http://www.aditus.nu/jpgraph/ - Java based is free but rendering is no better then pChart
I think we may have a winner! http://ezcomponents.org/docs/api/trunk/Graph%5Fgallery.html
This seems to be an API but a very good one with lots of other stuff they do as well.
