NewsForge wrote up a quite PHP tutorial for displaying charts using the PHP/SWF Chart package from Maani. They take a few W3Schools stats and
generate some easy to use PHP code for quick insertion and even quicker modification for your site. The charting
package they use is an alternative to Flex for interactive chart creation and is a good package for individual sites
that may want to avoid a lot of code, but I think developers benefit from the use of these kind of packages to get
started if they plan on a stop gap solution only. These packages are good for an easy site throw up, but Flash
developers and even some regular coders should really take a long hard look into Flex before building a site around
this solution. If you don't want to learn Flex or ActionScript then stick with this solution otherwise take the chance
and jump into Flex.PHP and SWF combine to create clean charts
