I am reading data from a mysql db to my webpage. I wish to make a google pi-chart but have no idea how to pass the data from php (html?) to javascript(?) to populate the graph. I'm reading the rows into the html page ok, they are dispaying in a table. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks.

 <?php 
  do { 
    if($row_getaccounts['category'] != 'transfer')  {
        if($row_getaccounts['category'] != 'balance' ){           
        if($row_getaccounts['amount'] > 0){?>
            <tr>
            <td>
            <?php 
                echo $row_getaccounts['category'];  
            ?>
            </td>
            <td align="right">
            <?php 
                $english_format_number = number_format($row_getaccounts['amount'], 2, '.', '');echo $english_format_number; 
            ?>
            </td>
    </tr>
        <?php }
        }
        } 
    } while ($row_getaccounts = mysql_fetch_assoc($getaccounts)); ?>


<?php
$query_getaccounts = "SELECT * FROM `$tempcat`ORDER BY `category`ASC";
$getaccounts = mysql_query($query_getaccounts, $dmsdb) or die(mysql_error());
$row_getaccounts = mysql_fetch_assoc($getaccounts);
$totalRows_getaccounts = mysql_num_rows($getaccounts);
$index="&chdl="; 
$graphstring="&chl=";
do { 
  if($row_getaccounts['amount'] < 0){
    $graphstring = $graphstring.$row_getaccounts['category']."|";
    $index=$index.$row_getaccounts['category']."|";
    }   
}
while ($row_getaccounts = mysql_fetch_assoc($getaccounts)); 
?>

<p align="center"><img src="http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?chs=320x225&cht=p&chd=s:k5xl<?php echo $graphstring; ?>&chma=10,10,10,10&chtt=categories" width="320" height="225" alt="categories" /></p>

hi i have just worked with google apps column chart. from my reasearch on google apps.. the charts will be created based on google.visualization.DataTable,it cannot take the data by itself. get your php variable from javascript using json_encode.
