hi...i've research fusion chart... and i find it nice ..

I would like to retrieve from my database(SQL) and graph it using php

is there anybody here experience working with fusion chart and php?...

According to the documentation you have to provide the data in XML or JSON format.

yeah i read it :D .... im currently working with SQL-php- fusionchart and i use odbc connection ... im learning xml about 2 days ago and im hoping someone experience odbc with fusion chart and help me just only a basic of it..

this is my code with odbc ...there's something wrong with it (it will not display the chart)...

<?php
//We've included ../Includes/FusionCharts.php and ../Includes/DBConn.php, which contains
//functions to help us easily embed the charts and connect to a database.
include("/Includes/FusionCharts.php");

?>

      <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript" SRC="../../FusionCharts/FusionCharts.js"></SCRIPT>
   </HEAD>
   <BODY>
   <CENTER>
   <?php   
  
$conn=odbc_connect('datasourcegaby','','');



$firststring= "Select POWER_GEN_1_VAL0,POWER_GEN_2_VAL0 from generators";

 
$rs=odbc_exec($conn,$firststring);

 $conn = connectToDB();


$strXML = "<graph caption='Sales' subCaption='of the month' decimalPrecision='0' showNames='1' numberSuffix=' Units' pieSliceDepth='30' formatNumberScale='0'>";



while (odbc_fetch_row($rs))

{

$g1=odbc_result($rs,"POWER_GEN_1_VAL0");

$g2=odbc_result($rs,"POWER_GEN_2_VAL0");

$strXML .= "<set name='POWER_GEN_1_VAL0' value='".$rs['POWER_GEN_1_VAL0']."' />";
$strXML .= "<set name='POWER_GEN_2_VAL0' value='".$rs['POWER_GEN_2_VAL0']."' />";

}

$strXML .= "</graph>";



//Create the chart - Column 3D Chart with data from strXML variable using dataXML method

echo renderChartHTML("./Charts/FCF_Bar2D.swf", "", $strXML, "ad", 800, 600, false);

?> 

</BODY>
</HTML>

table name:generators

column name1: POWER_GEN_1_VAL0
column name2: POWER_GEN_2_VAL0

ohhh... i got it! ..


this is where i stuck...

echo renderChartHTML("./Charts/FCF_Bar2D.swf", "", $strXML, "ad", 800, 600, false);

it must be:
echo renderChartHTML("./MyFolderHere/FCF_Bar2D.swf", "", $strXML, "ad", 800, 600, false);

I am getting error as:

My code is :
