This class creates a PNG image bar graph for inclusion in HTML pages. The graph can display one or more data sets in user defined colors.
The font size, font color background color, spacing between sets of bars, labels, and tick marks are all set by the user. You can also design this bar chart by adding some css styles as per your website colour combinations.
Below is the PHP class to generate bar chart using php and mysql. Create a simpleBar.class.php page and add below code.

Create simple-bar-chart.php page and copy paste below code to generate bar chart from mysql data. It will add your mysql database table’s data and generate bar chart.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 | <?php header("Content-type: image/png"); include("SimpleBar.class.php"); $graph = new SimpleBar( 500, 300, "verdana.ttf" ); $graph->addBar( "USA", 200 ); $graph->addBar( "India", 400 ); $graph->addBar( "UK", 240 ); $graph->addBar( "Australia", 170 ); $graph->addBar( "UAE", 270 ); $graph->draw(); ?> |
