'Ello!
Fantastic resource this website is, I’m chugging along on my project, however I am stuck with using the highcharts javascript library.
I’ve downloaded it, and included the proper files (tested with their demo code) so I know that’s in order, but what I am trying to do is generate a query to get user’s miles per gallon data that is stored in a DB and graph it over time (time of entry is also stored).
So, I have two fields of interest: mpg and time which are stored in the table fuelups.
I was thinking about something along the following lines:
[php] $stmt = “SELECT time, mpg FROM fuelups WHERE UID= '” . $_SESSION[‘UID’] . “’ AND mpg IS NOT NULL ORDER BY time ASC”;
$result = mysql_query($stmt);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
echo $row['time'] . "\t" . $row['mpg'] . "\n";
}[/php]
I’m not sure what the “\t” operator does, this is code someone told me to try (don’t know what to do next with it) while calling it with jQuery (which I have no experience with) :o
So, basically, from select statement I want to be able to graph it but I’m not sure how to define the highcharts information. Should be a simple line graph with miles per gallon as the y-axis and date as the x-axis. Important to note that the x-axis won’t be regular time intervals, as the date/time information is dependent on when the user enters it (i.e. how often they fuel their vehicle).
