Graphics via something using PHP include?

The ISPs I currently use don't have GD installed in their PHP implementations.

Is there something which can generate graphs using PHP only?

I don't know of anything that does this (though such a beast almost
certainly exists somewhere), but depending on what types of graphs you
need, you could just generate straight HTML. A bar graph, for example,
can be made using an HTML table. Each row represents a different bar,
just put an image inside and size it according to the percentage.

This is sort of hard to explain, there is an example here with multiple
bar graphs created in this manner:

Certainly does.. it's called SVG. Unfortunately, not many browsers
support this by default although some have plugins available. Here's
hoping for a sooner rather than later resolution =)

Thanks you for the information. I looked at HTML table type graphs and
the SVG. SVG is slick but I'm not sure users will download a viewer -
I know I typically skip applet downloads.

I've also discovered techniques using javascript to create and
manipulate a binary bitmap picture type. This is closer to the PHP
only app I hope for. However, with gd it's understandable there's
little demand for such an app.

It also seems like you would mash a server when a bunch of people
started generating pictures dynamically.

Anyway, very very fun stuff!
