<h2>Included Data Function</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The graphing software will allow you to write your own data functions
|
|
which are then dynamically included at runtime. As with the external data script
|
|
method this allows data to be acquired in real time from any source including
|
|
databases, spreadsheets etc.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>An advantage of this method is that all <strong>$_REQUEST</strong> and
|
|
<strong>$_SESSION</strong> variables are available for use within the function
|
|
at runtime. This allows data to be dynamically selected based upon data stored by your
|
|
application in the session or sent on the request object.</p>

<p><strong>Note:</strong> if a closing PHP tag (?>)is added at the end
|
|
of the data function file then it is vital that no characters appear
|
|
after that tag. If even a space character exists then the graphing
|
|
image will not be produced. It is recommend that the closing PHP tag is
|
|
omitted.</p>
