CSV to Graph

I have these CSV files containing data from all of our wireless controllers coming in on a regularly scheduled report. I was wondering what are some peoples opinions on the best way to convert these to graphs on a site that's mostly based on php. Should I try converting it using php, or would another language be more approachable for this?

If you want web based graphs then PHP should work well. However, if you want graphs that are images then a complied tool/library would work best. There are image creation libraries for PHP as well. For web graphs you might want to look into solutions like Google Graphs. For those you just convert your CSV data to JSON and pass it to the browser/javascript library which generates the graphs.
