Well.. you would check their documentation and see that all the chart needs is an array of numbers.. give it that and bam-o! You got nice looking charts!

It it were me.. I would get the sample graph working first, before attempting to substitute my own data.

You would use (normally) Ajax to make a request to the server for the updated data and feed this into your Javascript array. Again, I would get it working for a single, static, array firstly.

You are making it very difficult for yourself if you are trying to do everything at once. If it doesn't work, how would you know which part is failing?!

Hey thanks for your feedback ive decided im going to insert all the data into a database and pull it into an array and that way it shows history of uptime ram etc

Quick query in regards to that

$row=mysql_query (SELECT * FROM server ORDER BY upsite DESC LIMIT 10)

Echo $row


Would the statement above constantly pull the last 10 results? Or would i need to use ajax to do that?


Also my file which runs the script to pull data how would i get that to run every 10seconds?

Would putting a cron on it work?


Thanks

$row=mysql_query (SELECT * FROM server ORDER BY upsite DESC LIMIT 10)
echo $row

Well, yes, it would return the last 10 rows (if you add quotes and semi-colons!), but you can't echo the row like that. You would use code like the following.

// Perform Query
$result = mysql_query($query);

if ($result) {
    while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
        echo $row['firstname'];
        echo $row['lastname'];
        echo $row['address'];
        echo $row['age'];
    }
}

The docs

But that is PHP code: it will run once on the server and forward the results to your page. To keep grabbing data would require making Ajax requests, using Javascript's setInterval or setTimeout.

I don't know much about CRON jobs, but they are scheduled server-side scripts. They are used to perform maintenance tasks on the server and cannot affect a page that is already being viewed in a browser.

The mysql library is DEPRECATED - use mysqli or PDO instead.
