Drawing/Graphs in PHP?

[cyberspace]

I am looking to expand the functionality of a php/mysql system that I have developed to include graphs of data contained in the MySQL database, to produce say, a bar graph, for example, showing new customers per month over the last 12 months.

I have seen a script based solutions which look good(and easy to set up!) but I would be keen to learn how to actually code this myself.

Anybody got any suggestions?

Thanks.

JpGraph is an excellent, well-documented PHP class library for doing what you want.

I've been interested in making images on the fly from PHP, but never actually got around to trying it...

You could start with

I use JpGraph to dynamically produce graphs and find it really useful
