Time to get this data we’re harvesting graphed. In a couple past posts, I’ve used pChart to graph random data but now since data is getting dumped into a mysql chart, it would make sense to try and graph that data.
First, get the php5-gd package by running:
|
1
|
sudo apt–get install php5–gd
|
Then download, rename and move the pChart files to the proper directory:
|

|
sudo mkdir /srv/www/lib/
sudo wget http://www.pchart.net/release/pChart2.1.3.tar.gz
sudo tar –xzvf pChart2.1.3.tar.gz
sudo mv pChart2.1.3 pChart
|
Now pChart is ready to be used.
I used a lot of the info found here:
The code is pretty well commented so I’m not really going to get into describing it, but essentially, the following php will retrieve data from a mysql table (which is being populated by a python script seen in this post) and after leaving it on in my room for like 3 days, render this graph:
Here’s that php script:
