Help with a project ...please

SeantheMan

Hey lads...basically im in my final year and doing a project. However, im crap at programming etc.

Basically what i need is a data analysis tool....which can spout out graphs,barcharts etc, ....by using info taken from a database.

The database is a MySQL database on the website, and i need the info to be taken from that and graphs/pie-charts etc to be generated based on that data upon request.

The graphs and stuff have to actually be generated online on the website using the data in the database.

Has anyone got any reccomendations, ideas , suggestions or tools they know of ??

All help is GREATLY appreciated

Plenty PHP libraries out there for graphing.
I would recommend doing it in PHP if you want things to be kept simple and have a lot of free resources available.

These two look pretty good. Graphite in particular is something I've bookmarked for future reference!

Good luck with the project!

you can actually do graphs using css and/or ajax as well... Google it. Depends on the complexity of the graphs your after i guess.
