| Creating charts using various server side scripts |
|
Throughout this section, we've shown you how to build charts using static data (i.e., data which was manually created by you). However, FusionCharts can also connect to dynamic sources of data using server side scripts like ASP, ASP.NET C#, ASP.NET VB.NET, PHP, J2EE, Ruby on Rails, ColdFusion etc. FusionCharts can be implemented using ANY server-side technology, since charts are rendered at client side. The role of server-side scripts is only to provide XML/JSON data as string. To make the task of embedding charts in web pages easier, FusionCharts provides wrapper classes for various server-side scripts like ASP, ASP.NET C#, ASP.NET VB.NET, PHP, J2EE, Ruby on Rails and ColdFusion. Moreover, in ASP and PHP, the APIs allow you to connect to arrays and databases and even dynamically build XML data which can directly be provided to chart. In this page, we provide highlights of code snippets that are used in various server-side technologies for embedding FusionCharts. The next section shows how charts can be generated using dynamic data from database. |
| Using ASP |
Call renderChart("../../FusionCharts/Column3D.swf", "Data/Data.xml", "", "myFirst", 600, 300, False, True)

Apart from embedding chart in web applications, some of the server-side-scripts also help in exporting the chart into image/pdf. You can know more on this from Exporting as Image/PDF > Server Side Exporting section. For scripts that do not support server side exporting, you can always use the client side Export handlers. |
