I am creating a charts report in php but not understanding what should I use.
Can you help me, what chart tool should I use?
You can try these.
pCharts
jpGraph
Google Chart (JQuery)
XML/SWF charts (3D)
Is this for a web application? If so, consider rendering the charts client-side using JavaScript.
I use flot
jpgraph has been around for a while
rgraph seems capable as well.
EDIT://
http://www.rgraph.net/
http://jpgraph.net/
What sort of charts are you looking forward to work with ? Opensource ? or the other way?
For a licensed Version, you can take a look at this Fusion Charts (Flash and javascript). Highcharts. (demos and trial versions are also available.) For opensource take a look at the Google chart API. Google provides you with both static and interactive charts. Hope this helps.
pChart 2 is great, free and easy to use. Unfortunately it is released under the GPLv3, so you cannot use it for a commercial product (but I think you can buy a license).
heyy
lot of chart apis available some of them are listed.
1.jpgraph
2.Koolgraph
3.jqchart
4.google chart
i would prefer to use google chart. its easy to use and works really good.

Can anybody advise on the best PDF generator class/library to use with PHP? Preferably one which is maintained.
I am aware that this is a duplicate of the following question, however, the accepted answer is over 3 years old and I want to know whether the answer has changed since this time.
Which one is the best PDF-API for PHP?
Thank you
Try TCPDF, have good features
http://www.tcpdf.org/examples.php
Also simple HTML to PDF Converter API in (PHP, C#, ASP.net C#, ASP VB.net, JAVA,...)
from "PDF CROWD"
http://pdfcrowd.com/html-to-pdf-api/
very simple to use, but I think this API may need to purchase even they provide a free test account..
Have you tried http://www.PDFnow.com?
Provides a powerful template engine, and is pretty easy to use.
Supports complex layouts, layouts for multiple pages, invoices spreading separate pages, pagenumbers, headers, footers, etc. Definitively much better than fpdf.
You can simply integrate it into your PHP code by:
generatePdf(<templateName>, <ParameterArray>);
very straightforward.
Have a look on http://wkhtmltopdf.org/ Convert HTML to PDF using WebKit engine.
It can be used from PHP easily. For example, there is a bundle for Symfony2: http://knpbundles.com/KnpLabs/KnpSnappyBundle
Best One is TCPDF
http://www.tcpdf.org/
Never Use DOMPDF

I was (quite) happy to use jpgraph for graphs in PHP, and when in need of "dynamicity", I just added the image map, handled hover and click events etc. (a bit clumsy in jpgraph, but possible).
But now I've seen pretty cool graphs made in SVG. I didn't know this dynamicity is possible in SVG!
Can you recommend any SVG dynamic graph library for PHP that could replace jpgraph in this sense? Thanks a lot.
Many libraries are using <canvas> instead of SVG. Then, it will really depends on your needs, but D3 is very impressive.
D3
Flot
gRaphael
Try this Raphael js add-on for charting.
http://g.raphaeljs.com/
From a PHP perspective, have a look at this, which looks good, maintained and interactive. Not sure if it covers all your dynamicity needs.
Looking for an alternative for jpGraph which started to cause complaints after upgrading the 'P' part in MAMP, I stumbled upon SVGGraph. Didn't convert my graphs to it yet.

Can anyone recommend any easy to use graph drawing plugins for jQuery? I am constructing a web app that will pull data from a remote database and display it in the form of a graph...
I have seen jgcharts (the jQuery Google Chart plugin) but there doesn't seem to be much documentation
In my search for a easy to use jquery plotting library i have found jqplot and flot to be the easiest to use as well as have the most features.
JqPlot - http://www.jqplot.com/
Flot - http://code.google.com/p/flot/
Check out this page and take your pick:
http://www.1stwebdesigner.com/css/top-jquery-chart-libraries-interactive-charts/
gRaphaël isn't written explicitly for jQuery, but it'll probably do what you need.
Highcharts uses jQuery as far as I know.
They have an amazing demo. Check it out, I use it for my Vaadin projects. When signing up for it, I found out they were using jQuery. It's not free but pretty reasonably priced.

Recently I need to make a chart of employees' workload.Any recommendation?
Thanks.
I'd recommend pchart. Very clean, easy to install and use. The examples and documentation are great.
I also love the look of the graphs that it generates out of the box.
OpenFlashChart is kinda nice I have used it before just encode the data to json in php.. :)
http://teethgrinder.co.uk/open-flash-chart-2/
Or if you wan't to go JS..
http://g.raphaeljs.com/
highcharts is cool too if you have some money to spend :)
http://highcharts.com
Google's chart API allows you to just call a URL with the data and it returns an image. I highly recommend using it (I do):
http://code.google.com/apis/charttools/
jpgraph is also a very nice, powerful and easy to implement chart library build using PHP. It is capable of drawing Each and every type of graph. With proper documentation and examples.

I would like to generate a chart from a dataset and eventually put it in a pdf format. How would I go about doing this? Which packages would you recommend?
A solution might to go in two steps :
first, generate the chart, and save it as an image
then, embed this image in a PDF file
About the first point, there are many questions/answers that might help you ; for instance :
Graphs/Charts in PHP
What is the best open source PHP charting solution
Free Chart Libraries for PHP
References on creating Charts/Graphs in PHP ?
About the second point, I've not done that quite often, but I suppose Zend_Pdf, for instance, could be helpful -- note there are probably other solutions too !
I would look into these:
gChartPHP
pChart
Open Flash Chart
Dynamically Generate PDF file with
PHP
Take a look at the Diagrams AddOn for fpdf.
I've never used it but would give it a try before storing a raster image of a chart in a pdf.
You can insert charts in PDF as an image too.
Google's Image Charts is deprecated but still works.
A ditto copy of Google's Image Charts is Image Charts which has free version with their watermark.
