PHP Class or XML for generation of charts

[turtle_frog]

Hi,

 

 

 

I'm trying to decided the best way to create my charts. I want to create a page (I use php) with an interactive chart. That is you can choose the type of chart and it changes via ajax, no reloading of the page.

 

 

 

Now, Shall i generate my charts using the PHP Class or create my own XML feed?

 

 

 

is there disadvantages / advantages (or limitations) of either of these methods??

 

 

 

Thx!!!

Hi turtle_frog,

If you want to change the xml only then you can use our setDataXML() or setDataURL() method.

But if you want to change the chart type and other properties then you can use ajax and php class.

but beware of two things.

1.ajax resopons must be text type.

2.call method renderChart(true) to render the chart in ajax called page.
