Question

I have 7 column in my table “users”. The columns are like this:

ac0 // Represents clicks made today
ac1 // Represents clicks made from ac0
ac2 // Represents clicks made from ac1
ac3 // Represents clicks made from ac2
ac4 // Represents clicks made from ac3
ac5 // Represents clicks made from ac4
ac6 // Represents clicks made from ac5

I have to show this in a chart, that is build up like this:

xAxis: {
categories: ['Today', 'Yesterday', '12-08', '11-08','10-08','09-08','08-08']
},
series: [{
name: 'Clicks',
data: [1,4,5,2,6,4,6]
}]

As you can see, I have to insert the ac# into the data:[] field, and then add a date to each, to insert in the categories:[].

How can this be obtained?

If you only need to populate “categories” and “data” it’s even easier:

<?php
    mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', '');
    $link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', '') or die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
    mysql_select_db('test') or die('Could not select database');

    // Performing SQL query
    $query = 'SELECT ac0, ac1, ac2, ac3, ac4, ac5, ac6 FROM users WHERE id = 1';
    $result = mysql_query($query) or die('Query failed: ' . mysql_error());

    while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_NUM))
    {
        $data = $row;
    }

    $days = array('Today', 'Yesterday');
    for ($i=2; $i<7;$i++)
    {
        $days[$i] = date('d-m', strtotime('-'.$i.' day'));
    }
?>
xAxis: {
categories: ['<?php echo implode("', '", $days); ?>']
},
series: [{
name: 'Clicks',
data: [<?php echo implode(',', $data)?>]
}]
