Google Chart Images Replacement [closed]

Answer 1

I was also encountered with such a problem where I needed static image based charts on server side using PHP. I found a way to achieve this using PhantomJS and Google Chart's javascript api. Following is an example of how to do this...

var webPage = require('webpage');
var page = webPage.create();


page.includeJs("https://www.gstatic.com/charts/loader.js", function() {
var expectedContent = '' +
'' + 
' '+
''+
''+
'
'+
''+
'';


var expectedLocation = 'http://www.phantomjs.org/';
page.setContent(expectedContent, expectedLocation);
window.setTimeout(function () {
        page.render("mypng.png");
        phantom.exit();
    }, 1000); // Change timeout as required to allow sufficient time 

});

After that you need to run this javascript file within your PHP:-

exec(ROOT_DIRECTORY . "\phantomjs.exe processImageData.js ", $output);
