Not for 'how-to' coding questions but PHP theory instead, this forum is here for those of us who wish to learn about design aspects of programming with PHP.
I'm wondering if the GD-LIB offers a good performance compared to java-applets or flash?
Is it actually better to make a Graph or something like this via a java-applet or flash?
I've heard that java-applets offers a quite bad performance, is that true?
Java is fast enough these days, no problems there. However, GD is a much better alternative for something like a graph as you can generate it once and cache it .. only making a new version when the data changes.
Check out JPGraph .. it's fantastic for making graphs in PHP.
