3D Graphs (php vs flash/flex)

I know php can draw graphs, but they are not the best looking. Flash and Flex do a much better job, however, they usually cost a lot. I found Fusion graphs which look great and cost the earth. Does anyone know of any other graphs that look good but dont cost the earth? (i.e. $400 or less)

Cheers

I've never used it personally, but it looks simple & pretty enough.

I use FusionCharts. They have a freely available version that doesn't have ALL the bells and whistles but works quite well and does look great. It's also a very easy package to implement.

Code: Select all

// Standard inclusions      
 include("pChart/pData.class");   
 include("pChart/pChart.class");
Strange decision...

:dubious:

For some clients, shiny graphs could make or break the sale it seems :-D
