Can anyone suggest a book or a tutorial on creating Charts in PHP extracting the data from MySQL Database. It should not involve Flash in any way.
I dont want to use any pre-built charting solutions.
You will probably want to look at using the GD image library.
Here's a tutorial to get you started: Dynamically Creating Graphs and Charts with PHP and GDChart.
http://code.google.com/p/mtchart/
Open Source PHP charting library (Fork of pChart, more OO-Code), looks way nicer than the current market leader jpGraph.
(Disclamer/Plug-notification: I'm the developer of mtChart.)
http://code.google.com/intl/iw/apis/visualization/
google visualization
http://pchart.sourceforge.net/
Open Source PHP Charting Library. It also has good examples and excellant documentation.
I can for sure suggest jpGraph (http://www.aditus.nu/jpgraph/features.php) , a very complete and well tested library with a number of feature that no other can offer. My 2 cents :)
For some simple charts and graphs I can recommend HTML_Graphs. It is a bit old now but easy to implement, uses straight HTML, and doesn't rely on any third party services or libraries.

I need to create a custom chart as shown. Can anyone suggest a library for doing this? I've used highcharts in the past, but never seen one quite like this.
I'm not opposed to doing it from scratch if I have to, but I was hoping somebody had a suggestion.
I'm using php on the backend and jquery on the front.
Google Charts API has tons of chart types and it's pretty intuitive.
If you want to totally customize the chart then Raphael.js lets you control every aspect of it, though you'd be building a chart from scratch.
Processing.js is another one if you want to work from scratch.

Looking for tutorial on how to build a secure private messaging system using PHP.
Would be much appreciated.. So far I've been following this one http://www.astahost.com/Private-Message-System-t18247.html
Not really liking the way it's structured though. I would appreciate if anyone could point me to a nice tutorial.
I would recommend building your own as then you will be able to build it to the way you like it. I would read some tutorials and then design on paper what you want to build and then build it. You will learn more skills this way and build a better application.
The other side of the coin is what nettuts says:
Social media website with these 10 code techniques
The great part about the private messaging feature is that it’s already built-in to many CMS scripts. However, many sites don’t even turn on this feature. Take advantage of this (mostly) pre-built functionality and keep your visitors happy and chatting with each other
It depends on your desired outcomes, are you learning code? Building something you want to work but dont want to reuse the skills?

How can I generate graphs and charts from a mysql database using php?
I'm trying to use "chart director" but I can't even install it properly, because I'm using php version 5.3, and it's using a deprecated function dl.
Do you know of any alternatives that:
fully support php 5.3
are easy to use for beginners
can access the mysql database and chart its data
You can use JPGraph and Graphpite
http://jpgraph.net/
http://graphpite.sourceforge.net/
I use highcharts. They are very interactive (and very fancy I might add). You do have to get a little creative to access data from MySQL database, but if you have a general understanding of JavaScript and PHP, you should have no problems.
I use Google Chart Tools https://developers.google.com/chart/ It's well documented and the charts look great. Being javascript, you can feed it json data via ajax.
http://pchart.sourceforge.net/ looks very good and it's free.

I am using python with django. There I can simply make form from models and also it had builtin Admin.
I am eager to know corresponding framework for PHP with all this facilities.
I have encountered lot some similar questions like this, but they had not compared the frameworks with django. Experts Please Suggest.
I'd try Symfony.
What you're referring to sounds like "scaffolding"
I've had good success with Zend in the past. It has a lot of functionality in its libraries and it is all completely decoupled, so you can use whichever parts best fit your task, leaving out other things all together.
It doesn't have built in admin, but I like CodeIgniter. It really gives you freedom with your code without getting in the way.
I like Yii. It's based on the Model-View-Controller pattern, like most of the other PHP frameworks mentioned here. It uses templates, can do scaffolding, etc...
Another one that once saved my ass in a project with close deadline was CakePHP

I'm trying to build an dynamic organizational chart with php. Do i need to build it myself or is there some tools for that?
specification: all the positions in the company are predefined in the org chart, we only add persons in the correspondent position.
I need your suggestions.
Thanks.
I have installed image_graphviz and graphviz in my computer. but i don't know how to use it actually. Because there is so few documentation.
Does anyone have ever done this job or have some relational materials??
thanks a lot.
You could use GraphViz and connect it to your php via PEAR. You can generate graphs like these:
(source: graphviz.org) .
You can find more examples here
There is a tool called Organimi that will accomplish this. It allows you to create a role based org chart. You also create a roster of employees from which you can add/remove employees to/from these roles. The roster can be imported from csv or you can integrate an existing employee database via the API.
We've used the Google Organizational Chart Tool with some pretty good success. The API and documentation are very clear. It was very quick to get a simple static demo up and running, and not much more work to generate it dynamically from our corporate data.
I'm using the Mindmap software for this kind of the project. There are many of them online and the desktop versions. This small, list helps you to examine:
