Thread: Graphics
Hello All, Has anybody here whose know how to produce graphics using PHP?? I am trying to use JpGraph, but without success because I am in troubles while installing this software (i.e., after installed, JpScript ask for GD 2.x, but at the Official Site of GD, the last stable release is 1.8.4, and the 2.x is beta...) I have lost two days to configure it... what a loss of time... I would like to produce dinamic graphics, do you have any idea to give to me??? Thanks in advance, Marcelo Pereira

Hi Jeff,
This kind of graphics I already know php is able to create.
What I want is to create `estatistic graphics': Bar Graphic, Line
Graphic, Pie Graphics..., this kind of graphic...
Do you have any idea?
See ya,
Marcelo Pereira

Hello Marcelo, Try VH Graph available for both commercial and non-commercial purposes, I find it really useful. http://www.vhconsultants.com/ -- Best regards, Gurudutt mailto:guru@indvalley.com Life is not fair - get used to it.

AFAIK, the latest version of JpGraph does work with gd 1.8.4, and
supporting gd2.0.x beta is considered experimental only.
Using gd2.0 could be reasonable and a simply a good choice, though
it is still beta. (and it works for me)
BTW, check the php-general mail archive for some post from Rasmus,
who showed some changes in the gd distribution to make gd work
with PHP.
Here comes one of these posts:

Build gd-2.0.1 with these two lines in your GD2 Makefile:
CFLAGS=-g -DHAVE_LIBPNG -DHAVE_LIBJPEG -DHAVE_LIBFREETYPE
LIBS=libgd.a -lpng -lz -ljpeg -lfreetype -lm
Don't install the lib anywhere, just leave them in the gd-2.0.1 directory.
Then build PHP using:
--with-gd=/home/<your_dir>/gd-2.0.1
--with-freetype-dir=/usr
--enable-gd-native-ttf (note there was a typo in 4.0.6 on this one)
use: --enable-gd-native-tt if you are using 4.0.6
--enable-gd-imgstrttf
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr
--with-png-dir=/usr
--with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6
This assumes that you have freetype2 installed along with the libjpeg and
libpng libs under /usr

The biggest problem is:
I have downloaded GD-2.0.1, I have compiled PHP --with-gd=<dir>/GD-2.0.1,
but phpinfo() tells me that GD is enable, but version `1.6.2 (or
higher)'. I have done almost everything, but I can't get GD-2.0.1 running,
even with the right tarballs...
Are you running GD-2.0.1?? Do you have the tarball?? Could you send it to
me??
Thanks in advance!
