I am not programmer and I am very new to Highcharts. Connection to the db works, the x,y axis of the chart and labels show up, but no data. I got this entire script from the Highchart's forum [here][1].
Question: How to I get the graph to show the data from the columns graduation_year and i_am_a_student?
I'm sure to the folks here it's a no-brainer, but to me it's a brick wall! TIA for any help anyone can send my way.
this is the complete script. I added the json bit as you suggested.
<php
$db = mysql_connect("localhost","un","pw","db");
if ( $db == "" ) { echo " DB Connection error...\r\n"; exit(); }
connects to db fine
$sql = mysql_query($con,"SELECT graduation_year,i_am_a_student FROM wp_gfsept2013");
$query = mysql_query($sql);
I think my problem is with the code below. I do not have the technical knowledge to modify it to display the data from my table. I've tried various things but no luck.
$i = 0;
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)){
$date = strtotime($row['date']);
$stamp = $date * 1000;
$val = (int)$row['value'];
$d[$i]['x'] = $stamp;
$d[$i]['y'] = $val;
$i++;
}
echo json_encode($data, JSON_NUMERIC_CHECK);
?>
<div id="container" style="width:800px;height:300px;margin:1em auto;"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
var chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
