PHP Chart Library Solution

Question

Hello.

Good day.

I am a newbie to PHP framework, and I know a little about CI. Recently, i plan to start my new practice project with Kohana. I am looking for a good PHP Chart Solution.

Requirement: Free chart library is better; Integrated with Kohana well.

Could you give me suggestion about it.

Thank you for your reply here.

Answer 1

Meet Flot.

Not really PHP solution because it's javascript. But people have been using it as front-end with PHP as the back-end for so long.

My own Kohana module that uses Flot: http://www.nusantarasoftware.com/hitlogger

Answer 2

http://pchart.sourceforge.net/

Free charting library

Unfortunately it is not integrated with Kohala

Answer 3

open flash charts is one (http://teethgrinder.co.uk/open-flash-chart/)

xml/swf charts (http://www.maani.us/xml%5Fcharts/) and amcharts (amcharts.com) both have free versions.

Answer 4

Adding EZ Graph to the list

It is worth digging through the excellent collection here (Flash, JS, PHP, etc.):

Being a mootooler I always prefer Mootools Javascript charts:

• http://moochart.coneri.se/

Answer 6

I have used PHPlot with good results.

I'm not aware of a Kohana integration, but I just made a very simple charts controller to generate the charts and that works well.
