Comments on: Tutorial: Integrating PHP/SWF Charts with CakePHP http://www.littlehart.net/atthekeyboard/2006/09/26/tutorial-integrating-phpswf-charts-with-cakephp/ Facebook should've be written in unicornSchemaLang, because everyone *knows* that PHP is no good for anything, right?

Many thanks for this. I have a similar requirement in my cakephp application but rather using the php/swf, I want to use the xml/swf version of the chart. Can you please guide me how do I do this? I am not asking for any code, I just want to know which file go where in the cakephp folder structure.. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Vibhor Hello Chris,

But your code helped alot, which saved time. Thanks to you. Chris, the chart is drawn but the data is not sent so it gives a totally different data rerpresentation. I think the SendChartData() function code is missing. I wasn't able to find out in the article. If convenient, please let me know the code. Thanks Waqar Chris,

The instructions are clear enough that all sorts of other people have gotten it to work. So, please, after this no more comments asking for help. * the code that has SendChartData() in it goes in /app/views/graphs/users.html. I say as much in there * I put charts.swf in the APP/webroot/img directory. I say that in the article as well (notice a trend?) * chart_library is a directory inside the PHP/SWFCharts package, which I placed in /webroot/graphs. Again I SAID THIS IN THE ARTICLE ITSELF * '/verticalscope_stats/graphs/users/' is a reference to the action 'users' in the controller 'graphs' in the subdirectory 'verticalscope_stats', which happens to be the root of that particular application Short of me actually writing the code for you (which I won't do) this is EVERYTHING you need to get this to work. Believe me, it works. Best of luck. @rekesh

It would be great if you could let us know that. Also how did u give the pathnames to the carts.swf , charts_library, and users in the InsertChart() function. The tutorial would be really helpful to noobies like me if you explaiin these two points.

My code works fine displaying the chart on php but not on cakephp. I guess there is some problem with where I have placed these 2 files and the directory. Or there is a problem in the pathname I have given. also could you tell where exactly to put the 2 files charts.swf, charts.php and the directory charts_library in order for the code to work .

Needed your help. I have a controller called WebappsController. The function results() in this controller is giving dynamic data to the graph. For this, I have created a view results.thtml in the app/views/webapps/ directory. This view is for inserting the chart using InsertChart(). I have another view results-graph.thtml in the same directory that is doing the job of getting the data from the controller and building the graph. I have given absolute path names for the charts.swf and charts_library and results-graph in results.thtml. Also I have copied the carts.swf and charts_library to app/views/webapps/ folder. They are also present in the folder in which I have cake installed. Is this correct or am I doing something wrong. It would be great if you could help. thanks for the reply chris … but i m still not able to get this thing working . Needed your help.

By ‘main view’ I meant the view in which my report is supposed to show up. In this case, it would app/views/graphs/users.thtml
