Excel php chart generation

I am using the PHPExcel library to read / write excel files. Now I want to create a chart or add an image (a chart generated using pChart ). I would like to know if other libraries exist that support dynamic insertion of images (not template images) or the generation of diagrams based on recorded data.

Currently, your only PHP options for working with charts in Excel are:

  • To use the PHP COM extension with a copy of MS Excel itself on the server.
  • Ilya Alshanetsky Excel Extension < (only for xls and requires a commercial component).
  • PHP wrapper around Open Office, alternative to COM ( PUNO ) (requires Open Office to be installed on a server with Java support).

all of which use an external component to process excel data.

Read and write graphs are intended for the next PHPExcel realease (somewhere between this and the end of June) for Excel 2007 files (.xlsx) and in the next version (around September) for BIFF (.xls) files
