I'm using PHPChart for creating charts, now i want to have an option for exporting charts to pdf and images.
Bellow is my code:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/phpChart_Enterprise/js/src/jquery.jqplot.css" />
<!--<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/phpChart_Enterprise/examples/examples.css" />-->
<!--[if lt IE 7]>

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="/phpChart_Enterprise/js/src/plugins/jqplot.canvasTextRenderer.js"></script>
<!--<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="/phpChart_Enterprise/js/src/canvasHack2.js"></script>-->
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
if (!$.jqplot.use_excanvas) {
$('div.jqplot-target').each(function(){
// Add a view image button
var btn = $(document.createElement('button'));
btn.text('View as PNG');
btn.bind('click', {chart: $(this)}, function(evt) {
evt.data.chart.jqplotViewImage();
});
$(this).after(btn);
// add a save image button
btn = $(document.createElement('button'));
btn.text('Save as PNG');
btn.bind('click', {chart: $(this)}, function(evt) {
evt.data.chart.jqplotSaveImage();
});
$(this).after(btn);
btn = null;
});
}
$('#stackChart1').CanvasHack();
});
</script>
But when i click on generated buttons Save as PNG and View AS PNG browser goes to loading and down.
For any help and guid thanks.

Did you check out the image export example? It's all done in Javascript.

Not sure about PDF export, but I believe it would require some server side script. See example below.
