This script allows you to create a simple dynamic horizontal PHP bar graph / bar chart from session data. With labels, colours, and many other customisable features. Great if you just want a simple PHP chart with no fuss.
Customisable Features:
- Bar Colour
- Bar Height
- Grid Space
- Title
- Footer
The demo randomly customises itself, so refresh this page a few times to see what it can do.
DEMO:
If you use or modify the graph, please either email me about any modifications you make, or post a comment here with feedback about usability – bugs, feature requests etc, cheers :-)
Mega-Squall has modified the code to include two types of scaling; check it out @ http://ledry.free.fr/phpgraph/ – thanks!

Your script has one major downside that makes it pretty much unusable for most applications…. Have you tried to show maybe a figure of 25,000 for one of your bars and see how big the image gets?? Not sure a 2500pixel wide image is going to be ideal for a web page 1024 pixels wide huh ;) Otherwise good starting concept..

I believe Mega-Squall’s improved code deals with exactly that situation by allowing scaling of the graph ;)

I’m sorry, but scaling example simply doesn’t work!
Test it, man!

Hi,
Your graph is fantastic. I made some changes such as the size of the image, I deleted random color generator and random size.
I am taking data from my sql db and it works.
Thanks
