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.. :)

Or if you wan't to go JS..

highcharts is cool too if you have some money to spend :)

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):

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'm trying to make a dynamic timeline like facebook that can post pictures and descriptions with dates using mysql php for database. I put bootstrap because I like their design, and it's easy to use.
My problem is i don't know where to begin or where do I study it.
Here's an example of what I'm talking about:
Any suggestions?
What a generic question... this seems to me an impossible question to answer but maybe you need just some little advices to begin studying the right languages which you can use to achieve what you want.
First of all please provide an image of what you want to do and more important the fundamental languages that you have to know are HTML (obviously), CSS, Javascript and PHP for some server side script.
Talking specifically about your problem, here is where you can see some open examples with well commented code that allows you to understand everything.

Hello everyone, I have a project and I want to create an MVP: Minimum Viable Product.
And I have html pages ready but I don't know how to make them interact with databases, preferably MySQL.
I need the simplest way to be able to POST and GET data from a database, PHP or Rails.
IF there's just one simple tutorial or a small ebook to read, I'll be so thankful.
I have to the end of the month to create the MVP, about 20 days or so, and I really want to make that happen and I was gonna learn the whole Rails just to do that, but it'll take time you know!
Thanks for your time and I hope that you might help me :)
You can't make HTML directly interacting with database. You should create server-side application, which answer queries generated by HTML forms, JS queries, etc. I am PHP developer, I like this language, so I recommend you using it in your solution.
You can read about connecting PHP to MySQL database here:
http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_mysql_connect.asp
There you have basic information about handling data sent by POST:
http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_forms.asp
If you have any troubles during develop proccess try Google before, then if didn't find answer ask specific and well described question on Stack Overflow.
Best luck!

I'm working on my first opensource project, and I found useful do do an html generator class, treating the html elements as php objects, but now I don't know if it really makes sense in the real world.
Have you ever needed an html generator class for you projects?
If your answer is yes, what would you find useful on it?
If someone wants to help in the project, you are welcome to the repository on github.Github repo
Thank you.
This approach, although liked by many at first sight, always fails a reality check.
Please learn about templates - the only way to go in dealing with HTML from PHP applications.
You need them only if you are some outsourced worker from India or China. Otherwise do not use them since you have potential to ruin your career and credibility.
Those tools are built for doing very dirty code without any future prospects.

I am looking for a php library which supports accepting an excel file (like .xls or .xlsx) and then some sort of functionality to create an array populated with values of each column. (Separate arrays).
I know there might not be a read to use solution thus I thought about programming it. However, I was wondering which library could I use for several scenarios?
The few I cam across were
https://github.com/PHPOffice/PHPExcel
http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpexcelreader/
https://github.com/PHPOffice/PHPExcel
I have no idea which one use, though codeplex one seems to be most functional, but I don't want to use a too heavy php library and then not end up using 90% of the code.
Also depending of the framework which one could fit better?
PHPExcel is the great library. I prefer to use it!
You can also take a look an example of this library on CodeIgniter here
I use PHPExcel at codeplex! They have great support there! Also it is very lightweight and has great documentation!

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.
