Let me know if you are interested in using the php classes that makes it easy to create a graph like that using flotr.

i’ve written a series of php helper classes to make the process of drawing AJAX graphs using flotr far easier, and I’m hoping I can somehow pass them along so others can use them.

i’ll post a link to an example of what they can do (and make simple for anyone to do!) sometime.

whereas we expect : {‘str’: ‘%function%’, ‘function’:function() {}}

to solve the problem, do not use the array keys as the replacement key but a uuid

cheers

On your client page, add your javascript functions, such as:

function dateTickFormatter(date) {return xxYourFormattedDatexx;}
along with
function dateMoneyTrackFormatter(obj) { return dateTickFormatter(obj.x) + ', $' + obj.y ;}

Next go to your PHP page that is creating the JSON, then set the helper arrays

$value_arr[] = 'dateTickFormatter'; $replace_keys[] = '"' . '%xtick%' . '"';
followed by the actual assignment to your class used to encode to json $graphdata->options->xaxis->tickFormatter = '%xtick%';

Next, do the same for the mouseTracker:

$value_arr[] = 'dateMoneyTrackFormatter'; $replace_keys[] = '"' . '%mousetrack%' . '"'; $graphdata->options->mouse->trackFormatter = '%mousetrack%';

after doing all your other graph assigments, encode the json $json = json_encode($graphdata); and then simply use $json = str_replace($replace_keys, $value_arr, $json); to put all the functions back into the json. It’s pretty simple, but it took me a while to figure this out and hopefully I can save somebody the time. Sorry for the hard-to-read formatting, don’t think I can control it here.

can’t thank you enough for such a quick and helpful reply…i’ll be sure to return the favor.
