Question

I have a query returning data that looks like this:

Status         Total
Success        234
Failed         20
Missing        12

I want to add this to an array which can then be used to populate a google pie chart.

the array would look like this:

array backup = array("Success" => 234),
                    ("Failed" => 20),
                    ("Missing" => 12);

How would I add these item dynamically at each row in a query?

Answer 1

$result = mysql_query(...);
$backup = array();

while ($r = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    $backup[$r['Status']] = $r['Total'];
}

Here’s how you can make the Google Charts API call:

$values = implode(',', array_values($backup));
$labels = implode('|', array_keys($backup));

$img = "http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=p3&chd=t:{$values}&chl={$labels}&chs=250x100";
echo "<img src='{$img}' alt='Chart'>";
