Statistical Representation using Chart.js

Submitted by nurhodelta_17 on Friday, December 22, 2017 - 16:15.

Getting Started

I've used CDN for Bootstrap and jQuery in this tutorial so, you need internet connection for them to work. Chart.js used in this tutorial is included in the downloadable file of this tutorial.

Creating our Database

First, we're going to create our database. 1. Open phpMyAdmin. 2. Click databases, create a database and name it as chartjs. 3. After creating a database, click the SQL and paste the below codes. See image below for detailed instruction.
  1. CREATE TABLE `sales` (
  2.   `salesid` INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  3.   `amount` DOUBLE NOT NULL,
  4.   `sales_date` DATE NOT NULL,
  5. PRIMARY KEY(`salesid`)
  6. ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;
database sql

Inserting Data into our Database

Next, we insert sample data to our database to be used in our chart. 1. Click chartjs database that we have created earlier. 2. Click SQL and paste the following codes.
  1. INSERT INTO `sales` (`salesid`, `amount`, `sales_date`) VALUES
  2. (8, 100, '2017-01-01'),
  3. (9, 55, '2016-01-01'),
  4. (10, 200, '2017-02-02'),
  5. (11, 55, '2016-02-02'),
  6. (12, 175, '2017-03-03'),
  7. (13, 150, '2016-03-03'),
  8. (14, 150, '2017-04-04'),
  9. (15, 85, '2016-04-04'),
  10. (16, 99, '2017-04-04'),
  11. (17, 20, '2016-04-04'),
  12. (18, 180, '2017-05-05'),
  13. (19, 70, '2016-05-05'),
  14. (20, 225, '2016-06-06'),
  15. (21, 150, '2017-06-06'),
  16. (22, 120, '2017-07-07'),
  17. (23, 55, '2016-07-07'),
  18. (24, 199, '2017-08-08'),
  19. (25, 45, '2016-08-08'),
  20. (26, 130, '2017-09-09'),
  21. (27, 75, '2016-09-09'),
  22. (28, 300, '2017-10-10'),
  23. (29, 35, '2016-10-10'),
  24. (30, 250, '2017-11-11'),
  25. (31, 20, '2016-11-11'),
  26. (32, 220, '2017-12-12'),
  27. (33, 200, '2016-12-12'),
  28. (34, 45, '2016-01-05');
3. Click Go button below.

index.php

This is our index which contains our simple add form and our statistical representation of data from database. This also contains our barchart script.

addsales.php

This is our PHP code in adding data into our database.
  1. <?php
  2.         $conn = new mysqli("localhost", "root", "", "chartjs");
  3.  
  4.         if ($conn->connect_error) {
  5.             die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
  6.         }
  7.  
  8.         $amount=$_POST['amount'];
  9.         $sales_date=$_POST['sales_date'];
  10.  
  11.         $sql="insert into sales (amount, sales_date) values ('$amount', '$sales_date')";
  12.         $conn->query($sql);
  13.  
  14.         header('location:index.php');
  15. ?>

data.php

Lastly, this is our PHP code that contains our data that we're gonna be using in our chart.js to make statistical data in the form of bar chart.
  1. <?php
  2.         $conn = new mysqli("localhost", "root", "", "chartjs");
  3.  
  4.         if ($conn->connect_error) {
  5.             die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
  6.         }
  7.  
  8.         //set timezone
  9.         //date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Manila');
  10.         $year = date('Y');
  11.         $total=array();
  12.         for ($month = 1; $month <= 12; $month ++){
  13.                 $sql="select *, sum(amount) as total from sales where month(sales_date)='$month' and year(sales_date)='$year'";
  14.                 $query=$conn->query($sql);
  15.                 $row=$query->fetch_array();
  16.  
  17.                 $total[]=$row['total'];
  18.         }
  19.  
  20.         $tjan = $total[0];
  21.         $tfeb = $total[1];
  22.         $tmar = $total[2];
  23.         $tapr = $total[3];
  24.         $tmay = $total[4];
  25.         $tjun = $total[5];
  26.         $tjul = $total[6];
  27.         $taug = $total[7];
  28.         $tsep = $total[8];
  29.         $toct = $total[9];
  30.         $tnov = $total[10];
  31.         $tdec = $total[11];
  32.  
  33.         $pyear = $year - 1;
  34.         $pnum=array();
  35.  
  36.         for ($pmonth = 1; $pmonth <= 12; $pmonth ++){
  37.                 $sql="select *, sum(amount) as ptotal from sales where month(sales_date)='$pmonth' and year(sales_date)='$pyear'";
  38.                 $pquery=$conn->query($sql);
  39.                 $prow=$pquery->fetch_array();
  40.  
  41.                 $ptotal[]=$prow['ptotal'];
  42.         }
  43.        
  44.         $pjan = $ptotal[0];
  45.         $pfeb = $ptotal[1];
  46.         $pmar = $ptotal[2];
  47.         $papr = $ptotal[3];
  48.         $pmay = $ptotal[4];
  49.         $pjun = $ptotal[5];
  50.         $pjul = $ptotal[6];
  51.         $paug = $ptotal[7];
  52.         $psep = $ptotal[8];
  53.         $poct = $ptotal[9];
  54.         $pnov = $ptotal[10];
  55.         $pdec = $ptotal[11];
  56. ?>
That ends this tutorial. Happy Coding :)
