Introduction

PHPlot is a graph library for dynamic scientific, business, and stock-market charts. PHPlot allows PHP developers to create pie charts, bar graphs, line graphs, point graphs, etc. For more detail information, please visit the official site :

Official site

Instructions Here are the following things need to be done in order to integrate PHPlot with CI:

  1. Download PHPlot source package from the official site,extract the downloaded file
  2. Create new directory for example named graph, place in under libraries directory of CI Installation.
  3. put the extracted files in the new directory(graph). The files are phplot.php, phplot_data.php, rgb.inc.php
  4. Create the new file named graph.php, place in libraries directory , with the following contents :

graph.php

  1. Create the controller file named graphtest.php , as follows :

  1. Create the new file named graph_index.php, place in view directory, for output purpose with the following contents:

graph_index.php

<h2>&lt;?=$title?&gt;</h2>

<h3>&lt;?=$graph_url1?&gt;</h3>
&lt;?=$graph_img1?&gt;

<hr>

<h3>&lt;?=$graph_url2?&gt;</h3>
&lt;?=$graph_img2?&gt;
