I had someone ask me if I could build them a bar graph for there clan for a game and I said i would since i am kinda getting paid for it lol.. but all Im asking for is to help me find a tutorial on something kinda like what i need or even alittle help to point me in the right direction..

I'll try explaining as best as i can..

Ok Each month a person will upload each players stats into a form and submit it which will go into database and come out as a bar graph which will show the last months and the current month and also create a download file where users can download and open in excel to view.. the graph will show all the players in the clan.. can someone give me a link to a tutorial or somethingt that will help me please.. Thank you

If you can't seem to figure out how to do it in php, you could even do it with CSS/Tables fairly easily.

Now making it export into Excel, is a little more difficult, but have you tried the infamous google ?

Simple is if you are aware of co-ordinate geometry in mathematics and PHP language , use PHP-GD library...

How so? You don't want to create graphs anymore?

JPGraph is fantastic, but it's really bloated if you're just making a simple bar chart.
