Creating a Graph with PHP

Introduction

Diagrams and Graphs are a great way of presenting data to the world. With PHP and the GD library we can create them on-the-fly with just a few lines of code.

Starting with an array

<?php $graph = array( 1 => array( 'title' => 'January', 'value' => 25.9 ), 2 => array( 'title' => 'February', 'value' => 37.4 ), 3 => array( 'title' => 'March', 'value' => 19.8 ) ); ?>
