    Im working on an admin section for a site.

    On the admin home page im displaying some stats. Stats relate to the site, eg mailing list, forum etc but also two events. Really all the users want to see is the number of people on either event a or event b.

    I would like to insert a dynamic chart. Ihave done this in ColdFusion before but never in PHP. Been googling and found a few free mini apps that could do it. But struggling to get two of them working!

    Any recommendations?

    Using PHP, MySQL.

    I like PHP/SWF Charts; they require flash, but I don't mind making that a requirement. In action here.

    No problem finding any Ken, just looking for some that people have used. Found a few on hotscripts.com and will report back with my findings.

    take a look at http://www.phpcharts.se/phpcharts/index.php

    The php_gd2.dll file is required in System32 folder for a Win dev. enviroment and the file must be enabled in php.ini.

    I uzs PHP/SFW Charts on my M50 Blanchardstown graph. (I rip data from a page on nra.ie every hour, parse with perl and push the max/min data to a MySQL db every night).
