PHP / AJAX toolkit to make a "live graph" (eg for tracing stock prices)

php ajax graph stocks
Dave picture Dave · Feb 22, 2010 · Viewed 10.7k times · Source

how do i (after getting the right stock prices from a source) show it on a "live graph". i'm looking for a php/ajax toolkit that allows me to create that graph live?

is that the right thing to use or a flash based solution is better?

are there 3rdparty sites that offer to create live graphs given input data?

Highcharts is probably what you need.

I recently started a new project to simplify the construction of a graph when using php:

Also, Google Charts or Open Flash Chart are concrete possibilities (the latter will require Flash).
